lyrics

Somewhere south of heaven, across the Rio Grande
Is where I'll draw my last breath and make my final stand
Six riders closing in on me, a bullet in my side
I came into this world a curse, and I'm cursed until I die

Here I am, I'm a hunted man
Here I am, I'm a hunted man

My father was an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son
At the right hand of the devil, in the valley of the gun
I shot and killed my first man 'fore I'd barely even shaved
He drew down on me and I put him in the grave

Here I am, I'm a hunted man
Here I am, I'm a hunted man

Three days past I walked freely, swallowed up in sin
At a house of ill-repute, holding an Ace and four Kings
The badge across the table said he didn't like my luck
He reached for his pistol but it never felt his touch

Here I am, I'm a hunted man
Here I am, I'm a hunted man

There's always another life to take
The thirst for blood is never slaked
In every town a tombstone with my name
The deed to my soul the price I've paid

I fire the last of my bullets, while the vultures overhead
Wait for me to join the others in the land of the dead
In the theatre of the damned the assembled require a show
Every one loves a gunfight, but the gunfighter always dies alone

Fast forward to 2020. Sterling digs even deeper in the creative dirt for Dark Horses: The Acoustic Sessions. A sparse collection – one guitar/one voice. ... more
