Lyrics

We can share the women
 We can share the wine
 We can share what we got of yours
 'Cause we done shared all of mine
 
 Keep a rolling
 Just a mile to go
 Keep on rolling, my old buddy
 You're moving much too slow
 I just jumped the watchman
 Right outside the fence
 Took his ring, four bucks in change
 Now ain't that heaven sent?
 Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon
 Burns my eyes to see
 Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon
 Might as well be me
 ♪
 We used to play for silver
 Now we play for life
 One's for sport and one's for blood
 At the point of a knife
 Now the die is shaken
 Now the die must fall
 There ain't a winner in this game
 Who don't go home with all
 Not with all...
 Leaving Texas
 Fourth day of July
 Sun so hot, clouds so low
 The eagles filled the sky
 ♪
 Catch the Detroit Lightning
 Out of Santa Fe
 Great Northern out of Cheyenne
 From sea to shining sea
 
 Gotta get to Tulsa
 First train we can ride
 Got to settle one old score
 And one small point of pride...
 Ain't no place a man can hide, Shannon
 Keep him from the sun
 Ain't no bed will give us rest, man,
 You keep us on the run
 ♪
 Jack Straw from Wichita
 Cut his buddy down
 Dug for him a shallow grave
 And layed his body down
 Half a mile from Tucson
 By the morning light
 One man gone and another to go
 My old buddy you're moving much too slow
 ♪
 We can share the women
 we can share the wine...
