THE STREETS OF SILVER CITY

Well the barman told me to leave
And never come back to this town
But baby I've got other plans
I'm gonna burn this place right down
Well the lawman took me away
Said he'd kill me if he saw me around
Came back at dawn the next day
Razed that town right to the ground

We're riding bareback with the devil
Through the streets of Silver City

Well the townfolk took to the hills
And the sheriff came after me
I shot him in the back
Down by the old town cemetry
Well babe you told me to leave
You said I'd taken things too far
I didn't see the lynchmob
Hiding out behind the bar

We're riding bareback with the devil
Through the streets of Silver City
