Outlaws at Sundown

(hummmmm) The sun goes down on a blood-red sky

Another good man left behind A loaded gun and a heart of

gold Just another story the West never told

We rode together through the dust and rain

Chasing freedom, running from pain Dutch had a dream,

said we'd all be free But the devil was riding with you

and me

Ohhh, ride on, ride on,

into the night With the ghosts of the West and the fading

light We lost our way,

we lost our home Now every outlaw rides alone

Ohhh, the rivers run red,

the mountains turn grey There's a price for the sins that we

can't wash away If heaven won't take us,

let the wind decide We'll ride till the end of the wild

frontier

Arthur looked up at the morning sun

Knowing his time was almost done He gave what he could,

though he'd taken so much A dying man's heart and a world

gone rough He watched the eagles fly overhead

Thought of the things he'd done and said With one last breath

and the world gone still He found his peace on that distant

hill

Ohhh, ride on, ride on,

into the night With the ghosts of the West and the fading

light We lost our way,

we lost our home Now every outlaw rides alone Ohhh,

the rivers run red,

the mountains turn grey There's a price for the sins that we

can't wash away If heaven won't take us,

let the wind decide We'll ride till the end of the wild

frontier

Have some faith, but the faith ran dry

Too many graves beneath the open sky

A gang of brothers,

a family of thieves Now just a memory carried on the breeze

And Dutch stood alone where the mountains meet With a broken dream

and no

one to keep

Was it the money?

Was it the lies?

Or did the man we knew die before our eyes?

So

ride on, ride on,

let the horses run

Till the stars burn out and we face the sun

Though the years roll by and the legends fade Remember the price

that the outlaws paid Ohhh,

the campfire's

cold,

and the night winds cry

(ohhh, ride on)
