I've been riding hard for three days
And I can't turn back now
They sentenced me to hang
But I slipped away somehowHell, 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 soulAnd 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 daylightHell, 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 pesosAnd anyone can tell you
My guns they were not drawn
I was murdered down in cold blood
And left to die at dawnI've been gone 100 years now
But it seems like yesterday
That the lawman shot me in the dark
And stole my life awayHell, 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 knowBut anyone can tell you
That I was unarmed
And anyone can tell you
That I left that night unharmed
