from the songs album Distant Light
(hicks / lynch)
There never was a man so doggone mean
I wore only black and my eyes were green
And i can tell you now that i'm very old
I'd kill any man for a piece of gold
Oh what a life i've led
I've been a real bad man and i oughta be dead
Oh what a life i've led
I've been real mean man, full of cheating and lying
Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying
Yes i did
I rode into dodge on a sunny day
I went there to steal all the railmen's pay
And when i left town all the streets ran red
I had ten grand in gold, and three guards lay dead
Chorus
I was a bad man with a heart made of stone
If you were a wise man, you would've left me alone
I've lived all my life, such a lonely one
Just me and my horse and a fine six-gun
I've lived and i've loved and i knew great pain
But i know now i'd do it over again singing
Chorus x 2
