Hear the blast from a shotgun
Seemed to disappear into the night
Ain 't no two-bit lawman
Got a chance in hell of takin ' my life
Spend most of my nights down by a campfire
Light up the stars with my game
Left home at only fifteen
Started out to make my name
And we were american outlaws
Ridin ' across the plain
From Montana down to Mexico
Tryin ' to find a better way
I see our names on railroad posters
Sayin ' we 're wanted all around this land
Bullets spread out over the horizon
There was no fear in our eyes
Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico
Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while
Some say we 're no longer livin
Half a million voices took our lives
Hear the blast from a shotgun
