[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
E A 'Cross the desert, the rain came hard and black D A Two shovelheads rumblin' 'cross the railroad tracks D A Sheriff steps out of his car, takes off his hat E And slowly looks around
[Verse 2]
A Ostrich boots and a diamond ring D A Scar on his cheek too deep to think D A He steps up to the bar, orders a drink E I watch him as he shoots it down D E A I was just eighteen down in Indian Town
[Verse 3]
E A Billy was workin' as a hired hand D A He was a Hopi in off the First Mesa D A Weekends, we'd head into town for a drink and a dance E A little trouble and a look around
[Verse 4]
A A woman with hair black as coal and eyes of blue D A Stood in the street over a young kid with his leg shot through D A Sheriff pushes his way through E Shakes his head as he looks down
[Interlude]
D E A
[Verse 5]
D A In the spring, we'd ride the high desert D A Seligman and Kingman on old 66 D A Make the poker run through Bullhead City E A Into Laughlin and back around
[Verse 6]
A Well, I welded it outta cast iron, just like his ride D A Stuck it into the ground, where he died D A Marked on it his name and the day he was born E And the day he went down D E A D A On that white stretch of road outside of Indian Town
[Verse 7]
A It was closing time, I was drunk A And she was somebody's wife D A I was drunk, too drunk to see the knife D A I felt a push, and I was on my back E Ceiling black and comin' down
