The road is long,
The sun is hot,
The heat is slowly, slowly rising up
I got my gold,
I got my share,
I killed them all and I didn’t seem to care
Chorus:
I rode my horse, straight outta town,
Now I’m lost, no one’s around,
Got no water, soon I’ll be gone,
‘Cause the devil, the devil stole the sun.
He sends no rain,
He stopped the winds,
He sent vultures, to pull on my brain’s strings
He wants my gold,
He wants me dead,
So he shines the sun right down on my head.
Chorus:
I rode my horse, straight outta town,
Now I’m lost, no one’s around,
Got no water, soon I’ll be gone,
‘Cause the devil, the devil stole the sun.
He took my horse,
The horse is down,
I need to hide my gold, it shall never be found
I won’t give in,
He won’t have me,
So I kissed the gun, put a bullet through my teeth.
Chorus:
I rode my horse, straight outta town,
Now I’m lost, no one’s around,
Got no water, soon I’ll be gone,
‘Cause the devil, the devil stole the sun.
