Midnight Train Heist

[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]
