Cowboys With Engines Lyrics by Terry Scott Taylor

Avocado Faultline

2000

[Verse 1]
By the diamond in the lane
There's a crimson red stain
Marks the spot where a poor soul fell
A handiwork of the devil
And it's just one of several
Tombstones on the freeway through hell
[Chorus]
Oh, cowboys with engines
Strike Fear in their minions
No, they'll stop at nothing
To protect their dominions
With the bullets to back up
Outrageous opinions
It's best that you run, son
From cowboys with engines
[Verse 2]
No, don't lift a finger
Insult a gun slinger
And he'll show you exactly who's boss
Say a prayer for the old folks
Tail-gaters and slow pokes
Whose path they just happen to cross
[Chorus]
Oh, cowboys with engines
Strike Fear in their minions
No, they'll stop at nothing
To protect their dominions
With the bullets to back up
Outrageous opinions
It's best that you run, son
From cowboys with engines
[Bridge]
In the new old wild west
Outlaws still possess
Hair-trigger fingers
Cold hearts of unrest
Don't throw down a challenge
It could mean your death
And the Law can do little
But clean up the mess
[Verse 3]
Some commuters have sworn
In the hours before morn'
If you happen to be driving alone
A light fog will reveal
The dead at the wheel
Driving ghost cars to families back home
[Chorus]
Oh, cowboys with engines
Strike Fear in their minions
No, they'll stop at nothing
To protect their dominions
With the bullets to back up
Outrageous opinions
It's best that you run, son
From cowboys with engines
It's best that you run, son
From cowboys with engines
