The Devil Rode Through Dust Creek

[Verse 1]
The sun went down on Dust Creek town,
The church bell cracked, the well ran brown.
They say the ground was soaked in sin,
Since the day he rode back in.




[Verse 2]
No lawman dared to draw his name,
No cross could keep the fire tame.
A shadow dressed in black and lead,
He shot the preacher first, then fled.




[Chorus]
The Devil rode through Dust Creek slow,
With eyes like coal and breath like snow.
He cursed the land with every stride,
And none who saw him stayed alive.
He came for blood, he came for pain —
And Dust Creek never spoke again.




[Verse 3]
They whispered he was once a man,
Hung by the sheriff’s own cold hand.
But vengeance brought him from the grave,
And not even God could make him brave.




[Bridge – whispered]
The wind still cries at midnight's gate,
Where widows wail and lovers wait.
And every full moon, hoofbeats pound…
But no one dares to look around.




[Final Chorus]
The Devil rides through Dust Creek still,
A ghost with guns and iron will.
He don’t want gold, he don’t want fame —
Just souls to feed his smokeless flame.
So light no lamp, and bolt your door…
He always comes back for one more.




[Outro – fading whisper]
He always comes back for one more…
Always… one more…
