Skeleton Crew Lyrics by C.J. Garton

Tales of the Ole West and Other Libations to Please the Palate

2022

[Verse 1]
I was one of a chosen few
A member of the Skeleton crew
We rode though the desert like the wind in the dark
Thunder of the horses and our beatin' hearts
Only robbed those that had it to lose
Hired young guns with a short lit fuse
Had no consequence for what we do
'Til we're all strung up, hangin' from a noose
I was one of a chosen few
Known as the Skeleton crew
We wеre made up of drifters wantеd dead or alive
As we prayed to our gods and our mamas cried (Ha-ha)

[Verse 2]
In a time with no right or wrong
Drank our whiskey and we sang our songs
Oh, we took what we wanted, burned down saloons
Like rabid dogs howlin' at the moon
I was one of a chosen few
A member of the Skeleton crew
We were made up of drifters wanted dead or alive
As we prayed to our gods and our mamas cried
I was one of a chosen few
Known as the Skeleton crew
We rode though the desert like the wind in the dark
Thunder of the horses and our beatin' hearts

[Verse 3]
With the blade of a knife or a loaded gun
Livin' on the blood of another's son
Yeah, the stagecoach ain't bringin' nobody home
This wild Wild West has got a grip strong hold
I was one of a chosen few
A member of the Skeleton crew
We rode though the desert like the wind in the dark
Thunder of the horses and our beatin' hearts
Only robbed those that had it to lose
Hired young guns with a short lit fuse
Had no consequence for what we do
'Til we're all strung up, hangin' from a noose

[Outro]
I was one of a chosen few
A member of the Skeleton crew
Rode though the desert like the wind in the dark
Thunder of the horses and our beating hearts
