Selected Works: 1972–1999

[Intro]
They were dueling, Doolin-Dalton
High or low, it was the same
Easy money and faithless women

Lay down your law books now, they're no damn good

[Verse 2]
Better keep on moving, Doolin-Dalton
'Til your shadow sets you free
And if you're fast, and if you're lucky
You will never see that hanging tree

Like graveyards filled with tombstones, waiting for the names
And a man could use his back or use his brains
But some just went stir crazy, Lord, 'cause nothing ever changed

[Verse 3]

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, mhm
Ooh-ooh-ooh
