[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Beneath a moonlit desert sky, the rails hum low and cold,
A shadowed gang with leather hands, they’re hungry for the gold.
The iron horse comes thunderin’, its cargo rich and bright,
One shot rings, the brakes scream hard—tonight we ride, tonight.
[Chorus]
Oh, the lawmen chase, but the dust won’t tell,
Where the outlaws vanish through the canyon’s swell.
Stealin’ dreams from the iron track,
A saddlebag of riches, never lookin’ back.
[Verse 2]
Six-shooters gleam by lantern light, the safe cracks with a groan,
Jeweled lies and nugget truths, we claim ‘em for our own.
The conductor shakes, his voice breaks, “Y’all’ll h**g by dawn!”
But we just laugh, tip our hats, and vanish to the morn’.
[Chorus]
Oh, the lawmen chase, but the dust won’t tell,
Where the outlaws vanish through the canyon’s swell.
Stealin’ dreams from the iron track,
A saddlebag of riches, never lookin’ back.
[Bridge]
They’ll sing our names in whispers, where the prairie winds m**n,
Ghosts of greed and glory, forever restless, never home.
The rails stretch on, the gold’s long gone, but legends don’t decay—
Just the price of a reckless life, paid in b***d each day.
[Chorus]
Oh, the lawmen chase, but the dust won’t tell,
Where the outlaws vanish through the canyon’s swell.
Stealin’ dreams from the iron track,
A saddlebag of riches, never lookin’ back.
[Outro]
