lyrics

I came in on the evening train
I rolled out straight from San Antone
Fix a drink, try to catch some sleep
Before the tables all go cold

Yeah I been east, way out to Tennessee
Found myself longing for the coast
I left my share of debts along the way
Ain't no honest man should boast

Consequence is such a nasty habit
I’ll buck it all night long

Case the count, there’s a tiger in house
Before that deal goes round
Up in red I will go paint the town
If that deal goes down

Heard California is the land of gold
Well good goddamn a man can hope
So lay it all out on the queen of spades
You know she will keep me from hanging by the rope

Consequence is such a nasty habit
I’ll buck it all night long

Case the count, there’s a tiger in house
Before that deal goes round
Up in red I will go paint the town
If that deal goes down

A familiar face I saw out amongst the crowd
As that deal went round
So in a hail of lead I went riding out
Before that deal went down

//

I know you rider gonna miss me when I’m gone
I know you rider gonna miss me when I’m gone
You're gonna miss your baby from rolling in your arms

I laid down last night Lord I could not take my rest
I laid down last night Lord I could not take my rest
'Cause my mind was wandering like the wild geese in the west

I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train
I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train
I’d shine my light through the cool Colorado rain

The sun will shine in my backdoor some day
The sun will shine in my backdoor some day
March winds will blow all my troubles away
