Black dog up and sniffed his plate a-steamin' on the stove
Kids ain't seen you home all day, you're a gentleman born to roam
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's been
Think of where he's been today
Have you seen the black dog's teeth, sharp like a knife?
Have you seen him tear apart a throat, to take a life?
Black dog don't believe in sin
Think of where the black dog's...
I said, ?hey, Cat, you gotta move out of here
?I got enough to turn you on?
?Well now, Rat, don't you have no fear
?Cause I'm lookin' for some dope
?We'd better get it on.?
?Catcher man said we gotta move out of here
?Move further on down the stairs.?
?Well if they kick you out
?Don't joke about it
?Cause there ain't enough time to explain.?
Joker, don't use me
I've had about enough of you
Jok...
And the star had to take his role
Not so very far from the stories we know
Of ballads and the million in gold
He's now hatin'
To believe and to outrun you blind
With a lot of ease he can spin you a line
But take heed, 'cause when the magic declines
He'll be sayin'
Somebody, somebody, when I get to feel so fine
Nobody, nobody, when I get to feel like cryin'
I got a crowd like I never seen befor...
He's called Fernandez
Livin' on a gun
Dreams of Santa Anna
Fighting in the sun
Drums so loud from outside
Makes it hard to dream
A rain is fallin' hard and fast
Makes it all seem real
Mornin', come mornin'
A Chico's gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Said he must be there
Mornin', sad mornin'
What a laugh, and I cried
And I cry, cry, cry, cry, cried
Mornin', sad mornin'
Mexican
Senorita...
Man on a sidewalk, stone cold
He's carrying everyone's load
And a tear in his eye
Mirrors moon in black sky
His dreams have been builded too high
Now he's finding he's lost every way
Hopes shattering one by one day
Don't you trust no one's heart
'Cause they'll tear you apart
And they'll laugh as you're runnin' away
?The time has now gone?
Said the boy on the run
To the crowd as they all turned...
Jake ridin' shotgun the whole of his days
Headin' for the Mexican border
Shotgun movin' to the rhythm of his range
Just to help him keep law and order
Sits right back just a-takin' it easy
Drinks a shot a whisky and it makes him mighty wheezy
He coughed hard once
He coughed hard twice
Neglecting keeping watch
Don't mind the sheriff's advice
Ridin'
Shotgun
Runnin' over land
To the Rio Grande
No...
