Renegade Lyrics

Lay two silver dollars down

Let them cover up my eyes

So my spirit will not wander

When I reach the other side

Sell my horse and sell my saddle

But bury me in my boots

There's some money left in my pockets to pay the undertaker's dues

'Cause I'm a Renegade

I'm a lost cause soul

I'm a gambler on the run

I'm an outlaw that bet against

A sheriff's loaded gun

I know why I have to die

But I don't know why today

The devil chose to call the debt I owe and make me pay

I first met the Devil in Dallas

Dancing in a dimestore dress

I went back home with her that night

I guess you all can figure out the rest

She told me she was single

She didn't mention her old man

Or the fact he was a ranger

On his way back up from riding down the Rio Grande

He came home sooner than expected

He didn't know that I was there

I pulled my guns and shot once in the dark

But instead I shot that pretty girl with raven hair

Now I'm a Renegade

I'm a lost cause soul

I'm a gambler on the run

I'm an outlaw that bet against

A sheriff's loaded gun

I know why I have to die

But I don't know why today

The devil chose to call the debt I owe and make me pay

Make me pay

I knew the day would come my way when he would make me pay
