[Verse 1]
We can share the women, we can share the wine
We can share what we got of yours, cause we done shared all of mine
Keep on rollin', just a mile to go
Keep on rollin', my old buddy, you're movin' much too slow

[Verse 2]
I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence
Took his rings, four bucks in change, well, ain't that Heaven-sent?
Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, burns my eyes to see
Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon? Might as well've been me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
We used to play for silver, now we're playin' for life
And one's for sport and one's for blood at the point of a knife
But now the die is shaken, now the die must fall
There ain't a winner in the game, he don't go home with all
Not with all

[Verse 4]
Leaving Texas, fourth day of July
Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky
Catch the Detroit Lightnin' out of Santa Fe
The Great Northern out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea

[Verse 5]
Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride
Gotta settle one old score, one small point of pride
Ain't a place a man can hide, Shannon, will keep him from the sun
Ain't a bed can give us rest now, you keep us on the run

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]
Jack Straw from Wichita cut his buddy down
Dug for him a shallow grave, lay his body down
Half a mile from Tucson, by the morning light
There's one man gone and another to go, my old buddy, you're moving much too slow

[Outro]
We can share the women, we can share the wine
