Sweet water carry me
Lord angel deliver me
I just got to stay free one more day
Lawman been on my tail
Won't stop until I'm in jail
And damn sure he'll set a bail that I can't pay

So I'm riding
Yes I'm riding

And the sins of my past
Are catching up with me at last
Like a cowboy on the run
Chasing me into the setting sun

And the sky is turning red
And I could die but I think instead
I'll try to stay one step ahead
Of the setting sun

I been running so long
Don't know what I done
It's a dark cloud hanging over me all my life
So I got to keep movin' on
Knowin' I'm never goin' home
And live to see the break of dawn one more time
So I'm riding
Yes I'm riding
Yes I'm riding

And the sins of my past
Are catching up with me at last
Like a cowboy on the run
Chasing me into the setting sun

And the sky is turning red
And I could die but I think instead
I'll try to stay one step ahead
Of the setting sun

So I'm riding
Yes I'm riding
Yes I'm riding

And the sins of my past
Are catching up with me at last
Like a cowboy on the run
Chasing me into the setting sun

And the sky is turning red
And I could die but I think instead
I'll try to stay one step ahead
Of the setting sun
