Lyrics

Starting Again

I've worn that old tuxedo, wore a black hat up on my head
Ridden with the best of them, it's amazing I'm not dead
I've got a gold piece in my pocket, I got a dead man down at my side
Just because he's a friend of my, doesn't mean I'm gonna let the boy slide

Chorus
Can't you see that I'm tired baby, leaving it all behind
I steal and kill in a life of crime, leaving it all behind
Leaving it all behind, leaving it all behind
I'm starting again and I'm leaving it all behind

From the grassroots names to the river-bottom games, the young man in me soon died
Papa threw his hands in the air, and momma she just cried
Life on the road can make a young man old, and the time it just slips by
Questions arise around the open fire, if we stop riding will we all die?

Chorus

Alone again on this high dessert plain, thinking about this life
So many dreams and half-baked schemes, yeah I'm ready to tow the line
Heading out west just doing my best, six days out tonight
I see the shallow graves of forgotten braves, yeah I'm ready to see the light

Chorus
