And in my hour of darkness
But I won't deny my name
And while you're heading slowly
Sun, don't you rise no more?
To infamy I'll ride
Call for desperate men
Hear my restless forty five
To some place I can't respect
Shoot me if I run
Now I'm just sittin' here, doin' time
Sun, don't you rise no more?
Sun, don't you rise no more?
They'll hang me if I stay here
Sun, don't you rise no more?
That circle 'round the sun
And down the valley, down the road
Quickest wrist
But I see that gallows altar
Took his dime and I blew his mind
With bullets in their brains
That's twenty one fell by my gun
Then I'll count my killin' done
And Deluvina at my side
Through all the straits that I've survived
That jailer better watch his pride
But I don't plan to go that way
Don't buy all the lies that they feed ya
Guess I killed one man on the county line
My time will come but until then
But he don't even answer me
Nobody come for to go my bail
Gavel fell, he chose the day
I wrote to the governor for to hear my plea
Sun, don't you rise no more
Goodnight, my Andalucía
I keep counsel with the dead
With a trail of death behind me
Or off my wrists these shackles slide
Two silhouettes against the sun
I'm just a kid but I'll pretend
Just need one more to match my age
Just enough to remind me I'm alive
He's bound to set my spirit free
Through the canyons, through my head
Sun, don't you rise no more?
Friday, the thirteenth of May
I'll take my pardon on the run
A restless wind is whistling
The judge said
Rain and hail, born to fail
Now desperate times
Of the chaparral and sage
