Two soldiers come together Two rivers running dry Two separate worlds divided Four vacant reptile eyes And suddenly I find myself About to fall off the canyon shelf But my wheels keep rolling over Rolling over desolate lands I want to thank you Jesus For this weapon in my hands And suddenly I'm up in the air And once again, I just don't care Which way my horses take me Which way they take my soul We came on poisoned water And drank until we three were full Thought I woke to a wondrous afterlife But couldn't see through blinding white Oh father don't desert me With danger at my back With shadows all around me Murder or heart attack In a flickering midnight movie scene Where you know that the hero has got to bleed Sweet Jesus please forgive me For all that I have done The enemy surrounds me And I have lost my gun But before they put me in the ground I would take as many as I can down Before I'm underground I was both Cain & Abel This life to each I was bound And once again I find myself About to fall off the canyon shelf And suddenly I just don't care If I stand or if I crawl When everything is down to dust No one would know I was here at all We came on poisoned water With shadows all around me The enemy surrounds me And I have lost my gun
