Cave Creek Jail lyrics

I know my way

with a colt of steel

And now I'm here

I've made my choice

Nobody's gonna take

my phone call, no

Nobody wants to hear my voice

By night I dream

of the open prairie

By day I work

a-breakin' stones

But if I'm here

or livin' freely, well

I know I'm in this world alone

So I sing, hey, hey, hey

I could not stand

the wrong he done me

And all my rage

has brought me shame

Now all the world

is a-two souls poorer

Though everybody knows

just who to blame

So I sing, hey, hey, hey

Justice has tipped

tipped her scale

Gonna live out my life

in the Cave Creek Jail

Live out my life

in the Cave Creek Jail

Soon I'll be hard

and gray as flintrock

Smooth and cold

without a spark

But in my heart

there's still an ember

Smolderin' slowly in the dark
