Two soldiers come together
Two rivers running dry
Two separate worlds divided
Four vacant reptile eyes
And suddenly I find myself
About to fall off the canyon shelf

But my wheels keep rolling over
Rolling over desolate lands
I want to thank you Jesus
For this weapon in my hands
And suddenly I'm up in the air
And once again, I just don't care

Which way my horses take me
Which way they take my soul
We came on poisoned water
And drank until we three were full
Thought I woke to a wondrous afterlife
But couldn't see through blinding white

Oh father don't desert me
With danger at my back
With shadows all around me
Murder or heart attack
In a flickering midnight movie scene
Where you know that the hero has got to bleed
Sweet Jesus please forgive me
For all that I have done
The enemy surrounds me
And I have lost my gun
But before they put me in the ground
I would take as many as I can down

Before I'm underground
I was both Cain & Abel
This life to each I was bound
And once again I find myself
About to fall off the canyon shelf

And suddenly I just don't care
If I stand or if I crawl
When everything is down to dust
No one would know I was here at all

We came on poisoned water
With shadows all around me

The enemy surrounds me
And I have lost my gun
