As long as the heart of the kid is beating Out on the lone star trail I'm going, so Miss me love, or kiss me love, I'm Leaving While the rest of this dead town Is sleeping His mother stood and watched her boy go, from her door Never to return home, no more She said stay here boy, get a job Earn your money Don't you go out there in that cold and pouring rain Because out there in the dark Angels fear to tread The knife, or the bullet Will leave you dead Where the spirits flow And shadows fall And the words of doom Are written on the wall Stay home, get a job, make some money Don't you go out there in that Cold falling rain He said momma, I'll keep my knife sharp And my bullets clean Don't you know the rain It don't ever fall on me I'm gonna rob the rich I'm gonna give to the poor If I'm not doing that, What am I living for Watching the moon rise Over the River You know, that don't cost me nothin' Please don't go Don't go
