You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time //
Run on for a long time,
Sooner or later God'll cut you down //
PRIME
Most men back then weren't afraid of their shadow,
riding with the sun behind 'em going right into battle //
Saddle up our horses, and break from the shackles,
Have your mamma prepaying to the lord down at the Chapel //
He's a Maverick in a catholic land, witnessing this havoc and,
tons of men are after them, so they keep on travelin' //
The Owen Wilson Jacky Chan, go and kill some tracks 'n jam,
watch 'em take a last breath than, run out of oxygen //
From cattle wrangling to laying Mary Magdalene,
don't want your feet dangling so put chya ankle in //
he's no Anglican, avoid the rope strangling,
a gun toting tangler with my folk mangling //
I'm no sheriff, no chief but murdered a few beat,
ride with scoundrels, cheats, thieves an all of these breeds //
Diabolical needs, get hung if you follow his deeds,
A man of sin drinking alcohol, smoking all of the weed's //

Go tell that long tongue liar,
go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
sooner or later God will cut you down //
Go tell that long tongue liar,
go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
Primal Winds are gonna cut you down //
IRON WIND
I'm like Buffalo Bill riding in from the hills/
Locked stocked and loaded and ready to kill/
The midnight rider who lives for the thrill/
Of cuttin down bandits who oppose God's will/
Sittin at the table with a hand full of aces/
Pay up your dues or ill break your leg in six places/
Like Yosemite Sam I storm through guns blazing/
Rocking them kicks with the spurs on em just for the occasion/
You must be mistaken thinking you can plea and bargain/
Crossing your revolvers with the last of the dog men
Horses canter as the rain falls and thunder sounds/
Hunting the man down until he 6 feet underground/
Its kill or be killed, no prepare yo meet your maker/
Engraving your name into stone like the undertaker/
Its primal wind killin tracks puttin you to the test/
Like quick draw McGraw the fastest gun in the west/
