The Kid Lyrics

I rest my eyes under the sun

Then go out until the dawn

Ignore the pain and the rain

Follow the sounds of trains

In the west I'm never safe

They know my name; they know my face

Notorious among the crooks

I'll be in history books

Stranded in the promised land

Holding god's lonesome hand

I know he has got a plan for you

But I've got one too

Regulate and govern hard

Bury men in their yard

As vengeance sparks and keeps me scarred

But it's taken me this far

So put them up you dirty dogs

Steady hands and clouds of dust

I've given up so string me up

I have had enough

Stranded in the promised land

Holding god's lonesome hand

I know he has got a plan for you

But I've got one too

I've gotten away

With more than I can say

And without command I've taken the life of a man

And I can run

As fast as I can

Stranded in the promised land

Holding god's lonesome hand

I know he has got a plan for you

But I've got one too
