[Verse 1]
I know my way with a colt of steel
And now I'm here, I've made my choice
Nobody's gonna take my phone call, no
Nobody wants to hear my voice
By night, I dream of the open prairie
By day, I work a-breakin' stones
But if I'm here or livin' freely, well
I know I'm in this world alone

[Chorus]
So I sing
Hey
Hey
Hey

[Verse 2]
I could not stand the wrong he done me
And all my rage has brought me shame
Now all the world is a-two souls poorer
Though everybody knows just who to blame

[Chorus]
So I sing
Hey
Hey
Hey
[Bridge]
Justice has tipped, tipped her scale
Gonna live out my life in the Cave Creek Jail
Live out my life in the Cave Creek Jail

[Outro]
Soon I'll be hard and gray as flintrock
Smooth and cold without a spark
But in my heart, there's still an ember
Smolderin' slowly in the dark
