Well, I pulled out of canyon county   Great cradle of the west   My mama and me and one lone dog   Tryin to do our best   Strangers all around me   Said none knew my name   I came to take back this land   I came to stake my claim, yes sir      The farm is all I've ever know   It bears my family name   But, damn, my brother got drunk one night   And lost it all in a poker game   Shots rang through the silence   I heard the angels cry   You never arrive a winner a saint or a sinner   The boy said aces high      (chorus)   Saddletramp you're back in action   Lookin for the man that took my brother   I came to put him down   Saddletramp you spend your whole life   Runnin like the wind....going for the bounty but   Riding for the thrill      Mama died of a broken heart   The way myy brother threw his life away   But when they put him in the ground   It like to kill me just the same   Half past the hour of midnight   I looked into the killers eyes   I pulled my 45 and bullets started flyin   The man he had to die      (chorus) 2x      Everytime you take a life,   The devils watching you   He'll fill you with a pack of lies   And he'll steal your soul from you......i say
