Dead-Eye Heart

Dust on the case, screen glowin' pale

Boots off the door, I'm ridin' from the couch tonight

Snow in my window, snow on that trail

Two in the mornin', still chasin' that outlaw life

Got a dead-eye heart and a worn-out thumb

Spendin' my nights where the west ain't done

Ridin' for honor, runnin' from shame

Losing myself in a made-up plain

If I had one more life, one more last stand

I'd leave it all out on that red dirt land

Cards on the table, whiskey in hand

Talkin' to a stranger in a dusty wired town

I pause on his face, he calls me a friend

But I know how it ends when that sun goes down

Got a dead-eye heart and a worn-out thumb

Spendin' my nights where the west ain't done

Ridin' for honor, runnin' from shame

Losing myself in a made-up plain

If I had one more life, one more last stand

I'd leave it all out on that red dirt land

I still hear that promise on a broken breath

“Just one more try, we ain’t finished yet” (oh no)

Then the campfire fades with the closing screen

But I wake up feelin' every ghost I’ve seen

With this dead-eye heart and a worn-out thumb

Livin' two lives till the mornin' comes

Ridin' for honor, laughin' at pain

Bleeding for folks who don't know my name

If I had one more life, one more last stand

I'd ride it hard for every outlaw and

Lay my dead-eye heart

On that red dirt land
