Spirits of the South - Snares of the Devil
Last night walkin down the tracks
Saw a man with no eyes lookin back
Said to me when morrow comes
I'll be hangin high
Lawmans closin in on me
Said I'm sure to die
All night creepin through the black
Hounds of hell closin on my back
Know this life I'm livin
Is full of death & sin
All is not forgivin
I'm ridin with the wind
Starlight shinin in my eyes
Thinkin bout why I'm sposed to die
Knew my girl had killed a man
But I got the blame
3 long years I'm runnin now
They want me to hang
Sunlight burnin off the black
Time has come there's no turnin back
Know this life I'm livin
Is full of death & sin
All is not forgivin
I'm ridin with the wind
Last chance to turn this all around
To the crossroads where he could be found
Sold my soul to the devil man
He made me a deal
She'd confess to what she'd done
Now her fate was sealed
High noon now my work is done
Left her there hanging in the sun
Know this life I'm livin
Is full of death & sin
All is not forgivin
I'm ridin with the wind
Know this life I'm livin
Is full of death & sin
All is not forgivin
She's swingin in the wind
