I've been riding hard for three days
And I can't turn back now
They sentenced me to hang
But I slipped away somehow
Hell, I'm the best there is
And that's all you need to know
Cause I've got outlaw blood
And I rest this weary soul
And I'm trying to cross the border
Before the sun sets down tonight
If I keep on riding hard
I'll be a free man come daylight
Hell, I'm the best there is
And that's what I hear them say
But I guess I always knew
That I'd pay my debt someday
They found me in a little town
Just outside of Mexico
I was sold out by a friend
For a handful of pesos
And anyone can tell you
My guns they were not drawn
I was murdered down in cold blood
And left to die at dawn
♪
I've been gone 100 years now
But it seems like yesterday
That the lawman shot me in the dark
Stole my life away
Hell, I'm the best that ever lived
I'm a legend among men
Now every time that pistol fires
A legend rides again
They found me in a little town
Just outside of Mexico
What happened there that night
No one will ever know
But anyone can tell you
That I was unarmed
And anyone can tell you
That I left that night unharmed
