[Instrumental]

2. Hell & Back

Gather round and listen to my tale.
Let me take you back before the train derailed.

What you know ain't even half the truth.
Come and walk with me a mile in Billy's shoes.

Things ain't always what they seem.
Sometimes your caught right in between.
When you feel the noose around your neck,
Then you've been riding down the road

To Hell And Back

Good is bad and sometimes bad is good.
A righteous man did what he thought he should.
He took a chance and hell broke loose broke.
Come and walk with me a mile in Billy's shoes.

It ain't never what they seem.
Sometimes you're caught right in between.
When you feel the noose around your neck,
Then you've been riding down the road

To Hell And Back
To Hell And Back
On Devils track
To Hell And Back

So grab a seat and better hold on tight.
Get ready for the dark and painful ride.
What you know ain't even half the truth.
Come and walk with me a mile in Billy's shoes.

3. Call Of The Wild

Mine is the anger, mine is the pain
Toeing the line between laughter and pain
It all started easy, it all started sane
Mama used to say the world will know my name

Silver city and I'm on my own
A boy not a man from a broken home
All I could tell was right from wrong
Like ripping the flesh from my broken bone

When the darkness calls my name

Ain't no use in trying to fight
Take it in till the break of light

Call of freedom, call of the night
One hand on the bible and a gun by my side
I can see them, I hear them ride
They won't hold me from the call
The call of the wild

Mine was the anger, mine was the pain
I thought that I found some peace again
First came the thunder, then pouring rain
Bringing the anger right back again

Call of freedom, call of the night
One hand on the bible and a gun by my side
I can see them, I hear them ride
They won't hold me from the call
The call of the wild

Call of freedom, call of the night
One hand on the bible and a gun by my side
I can see them, I hear them ride
They won't hold me from the call
The call of the wild

4. Silver City Shuffle

Can you feel the heat
Do ya avoid this town
The tempting city streets, I'll take ya
Down in the devils playground baby
Down in the darkest pit
Where they lace your palm with silver honey
And never let you quit
Till you cross the line
To the other side
For the perfect crime swallow your pride

Another day another dollar baby
Living on borrowed time
With each and every step I take I hustle
The Silver City Shuffle

Got a fist full of hungry anger
More than aces up my sleeve
The smile of an angel and the speed of the devil
And I'll never rest in peace
So don't step on my blue suede shoes
Don't even think of looking twice
I may look young, I may look nice
But look straight into my eyes
When you cross the line
You'll see my other side
Of Blood and crime pain and pride

Another day another dollar baby
Living on borrowed time
With each and every step I take I hustle
Another day another dollar baby
Living on borrowed time
With each and every step I take I hustle
The Silver City Shuffle

Another day another dollar baby
Living on borrowed time
With each and every step I take I hustle
Another day another dollar baby
Living on borrowed time
With each and every step I take I'll hustle
And again I hustle
Silver City Shuffle

5. 600 Miles (The Escape)

Hot desert dirt and sand
Filling up my lungs
A sting in every breath
Under the midday sun

Head hanging low
600 miles and more
My steps are slow
600 miles to go

No rest for the wicked
Got gunmen on my trail
I ain't gonna kick it
Ain't going back to jail

I'm smiling at the vultures
I'm kicking up the sand
I know I'm gonna make it
I'll find my promised land

Head hanging low
600 miles and more
I'm treading slow

600 miles
To ride through the desert
Through wind and through the rain
Praying for some water
For shelter from the pain
600 miles of fire
The world will know my name
Head hanging low
600 miles to go

Let them try and catch me
Silver dollars for my head
Six gun right beside me
With a barrel full of led

6. All The Long Way Home

Mama always told me,
Son grew up strong, act like a man
she brought me up loved and held me.
I try to keep word mom, if I can

OhhOh, I try to find my way of living and I live my way of life
Ridin' all the long way home

Now I grew up n keep on searching,
I am on my way... still on my ride
I am on the loose, but I just can't win
I think it's a story of my life

OhhOh, I try to find my way of living and I live my way of life
Ridin' all the long way home

Where ever you may be now,
watch over me and rest in peace
You've done more could have asked for
Don't you worry, there's no need

OhhOh, I try to find my way of living and I live my way of life
No more sorrow, all is forgiven
filled with passion, filled with pride

Ridin' all the long way home...

Mama always told me - now it's in my flesh... it's in my bones
Ridin' all the long way home...

7. Bullets N' Bones (The House)

People seem to walk faster
When they pass in front of the house
Mothers grab out of their children
And hope that they don't hear us shout

We take what we want when we see it
'cause no one can push us around
The states politicians
like dimes in our pockets
We make them dance to our sound

'Cause time and time again
Everything comes with a price
The crime that's in our hand
We're rolling it just like the dice

We stepped on one toe too many
And that's when it all went South
They call them regulators
They're trying to bring down the house

Daily our Numbers decreasing
We can't seem to find a way out
It's raining down fire
Blood and desire
To burn us down to the ground

Bullets and bones
Can break more than sticks and stones
Bullets and, bullets and bones
The Kid almost did it alone
With bullets, bullets and bones

8. Lincoln County War (The Regulators)

They found him one morning lying on the ground
His white horse lay dead by his side
They knew it was time to turn it all around
They knew that they picked the wrong fight

Amigos por siempre
Hermanos muerte

Smoke and blood and crying eyes
The only thing you saw
Was only what was left behind
The regulators call

The Kid and the others were thirsty for some blood
They offered their payback in led
Made the earth tremble and the sun was burning hot
They painted their bullets in red

Smoke and blood and crying eyes
The only thing you saw
Was only what was left behind
The regulators call

Amigos por siempre
Hermanos muerte

Smoke and blood and crying eyes
The only thing you saw
Was only what was left behind
Lincoln Country War

They saddled up the horses
And took their guns to town
Spilling their blood in the sand
Kicking in all doors
And they burnt it to the ground
Again and again and again

Smoke and blood and crying eyes
The only thing you saw
Was only what was left behind
The regulators call

Amigos por siempre
Hermanos muerte

Smoke and blood and crying eyes
The only thing you saw
Was only what was left behind
Lincoln Country War

From Michigan to Arkansas
from east down to the west
The story was painted in black
Good guys made villains,
the worst were made the best
The hangman was counting the necks

Amigos por siempre
Hermanos muerte

Smoke and blood and crying eyes
The only thing you saw
Was only what was left behind
The regulators
Smoke and blood and crying eyes
The only thing you saw
Was only what was left behind
Lincoln Country War

9. Mexican Standoff (Interlude)

[Instrumental]

10. Thirty Silver Dollars

They promised me to biggest name
If I would only play their game
I signed on that dotted line

For my promised land
And the devil shook my hand

Horse riding, gun slinging
Killer on the run
And I'm always one step behind
I won't rest, I can't rest
Until he meets my gun
And I'll know the price for my soul
30 silver dollars to hold

I'm trying every trick in the book
I'm dangling every bait from my hook
I'm sure that I can trade him in
A badge for another sin
He's proven one too many times
His tricks are so much better than mine
He won't let me take him alive
And the devil shook my hand
For my promised land

Horse riding, gun slinging
Killer on the run
And I'm always one step behind
I won't rest, I can't rest
Until he meets my gun
And I'll know the price for my soul
Horse riding, gun slinging
Killer on the run
And I'm always one step behind
I won't rest, I can't rest
Until he meets my gun
And I'll know the price for my soul
30 silver dollars to hold

11. Back In The Saddle (Hello Bob)

Down by the river
At the break of dawn
Praying that the mountain creek can purify my soul
My hands in the water
I watch the streams of red
I thought that I had found my peace
But I was pulled right back

From New York to Arizona
Down to New Mexico
Everyone will know my name
Wherever I may go

I saddled up my horse
Grabbed my rifle and my gun
I'm not an evil villain
I'm an outlaw on the run

Oh, Lord
I'm riding through the gates of hell
Oh, Lord
Won't you guide me on my way?
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm taking my luck in my hands
Nowhere left but up
I'll fight right to the top
I'm the one who says when it ends
Back in the saddle again

An eye for an eye
A life filled with lust
I'll light the world on fire
And watch it burn to dust

Finally I'm famous
A price upon my head
I can hear them coming
Won't rest 'til I am dead

Oh, Lord
I'm opening the gates to hell
I say
Oh, Lord
You have to look away
While you guide my on my rocky way to fame

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm taking my luck in my hands
Nowhere left but up
I'll fight right to the top
I'm the one who says when it ends
Once again I say

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm taking my luck in my hands
Nowhere left but up
I'll fight right to the top
I'm the one who says when it ends
Back in the saddle again

Down by the river
At the break of dawn
Praying that the mountain creek can purify my soul

I'm back in the saddle again
Taking my luck in my hands
Nowhere left but up
I'll fight right to the top
I'm the one who says when it ends
Once again 'cause...

I'm back in the saddle again
Taking my luck in my hands
Nowhere left but up
I'll fight right to the top
'Cause I'm the one who says when it ends
Back in the saddle
I'm back in the saddle
'Cause I'm back in the saddle again

12. Fandango

[Instrumental]

13. Smile As My Last Day Ends

Now I know - my time is coming
I'm waiting for - the curtain to fall
The sun hangs low - night is calling
All that remains - are trails in the sand
Washed away as my last day ends

The load was long - a hell of a journey
We've reached the end - and nothing left to say
Take out your gun - and do me the honors
Send me on my way - my dear old friend

I smile as my last day ends.
I smile when I'm angry, through sunshine and rain
I had my share - of good and bad, of passion and fame
I smile when I'm angry, I walked through the flames
From ashes to ashes, from sand to sand
I smile as my last day ends

I should have run - way across the border
I should have run - way down to Mexico
I changed my mind - 'cause I was longing for her
I went down this road to hell with empty hands

Now I know - my time is coming
I'm waiting for - the curtain to fall
The sun hangs low - night is calling
All that remains - are trails in the sand
Washed away as my last day ends
