Lyrics:

When I was a cowboy out on the western plains
When I was a cowboy out on the western plains
I made a half a million pulling on the bridled reigns

Oh the hardest battle ever on the western plains
When me and a bunch of cowboys we run in to Jesse James
The bullets were falling, they come down like showering rain

All his men ride in after me, and they shot out their best regards.

When you house catches on fire and there ain't no water around
When you house catches on fire and there ain't no water around
Throw your jelly out the window, let the god damn shack burn down

Stride in on the devils burden, I had to put them in the ground.

A better life, it waits for me, on the outskirts of town.
