Things To Which I Owe (Live) Lyrics

Riding a train from Mexico

In the snow, and the rain of my mind

It's time I've left some thing behind me

Like Ohio, and the thing's of my left hand

Believe it or not I will not rot in a jail cell

They'll hang me for my wrong not long from the roosters crow

Please tell my momma that I love her

But my bodies got to go

East Texas moon looks like a sunrise

Bright enough to expose all my flaws

Long before the tracks to railcars

Connected the end of the Indian Nation land

I robbed and killed men of fortune

Heading back from the West with a pocket full of gold

Now it's time for me to pay back these things to which I owe

Miss I know you were a mother

And I chose to write you instead of my own

Please travel outside of Pecos to an old church house

Known as the Estacado's Fold

In there back where they used to place communion

There's a loose plank where I stashed your first borns gold

Now it's time for me to payback these things to which I owe

They'll hang me high in the East Texas sky

And let my spirit roam these flatlands and these hills

Guarding every weary traveler from killers like me

And the bad things of the unknown

If you hear a gunshot in the night

Just know it was my 44 Colt

Cause now its time for me to payback these things to which I owe
