Got a 6 shooter on my hip
I don't know where that I'll end up next
I'm on the road to find my next oasis hiding in the the sky
Been so long that I don't know when
The time will come till I see you again
I'm moving forward onto greener pastures on the horizon
It's been a long old time since I've had any kind of hope inside of my mind
Found a road to take me out west
Told myself I'm gonna be the best to roam across the land
From the apple to the city of angels
Packed my bags out of Baltimore
To see what this world has in store
Maybe hop a freight train out beneath the stars in a canyon
It's been a long old time since I had any kind of hope inside of my mind
Hit the crossroads in the early morning
To make a deal with the man who warned who'd keep my soul in turn for what I wished for
Freedom at sunrise
Kept my distance while this man spoke
Let him finish before I lit a smoke
And fired off a round from my 6 shooter into the head of the devil
It's been a long old time since I had any kind of hope inside of my mind
Freedom doesn't have to come at a cost
To sell yourself to gain what you've lost
I'd rather die in my footsteps than sell myself to anyone in this world
So I shot the devil through the eyes
And kept on moving through the dim moonlight
I'm heading for my oasis ain't nothing holding me back anymore
It's been a long old time since I had any kind of hope inside of my mind
