Lyrics
I'll get tired, but not tonight
I gotta ride 'til the break of dawn
City lights and horizon lines
Miles behind these bones
Sheriff's hounds are on my trail
Their noses to the wind
But I'll be high above the county line
Goddamn, I'm gone again
I'll take a back door into the labyrinth, lord
I'll be a shadow, hell upon wheels
I'll be a ghost to the long right arm
Of the law man on my heels
I'll be well past Chickasaw
When the morning comes around
Leave behind these wanted signs
And this crimson tainted ground
I'll take a back door into the labyrinth, lord
I'll be a shadow, hell upon wheels
I'll be a ghost to the long right arm
Of the law man on my heels
This time I'll settle down
This time I'll stay
This time I'll leave this behind me
No one to put me down
Nobody cares
Nobody killing me slowly
Way down south there's a cypress tree
With a noose hung from a limb
Lord knows it was meant for me
Too bad I'm gone again
I'll take a back door into the labyrinth, lord
I'll be a shadow, hell upon wheels
I'll be a ghost to the long right arm
Of the law man on my heels
