Las Cruces Jail
Lyricist:Adam Stephens, Tyson Vogel
Well, I spent last night In Las Cruces jail Rain and hail, born to fail Nobody come for to go my bail
Sun, don't you rise no more? Guess I killed one man on the county line Took his dime and I blew his mind Now I'm just sittin' here, doin' time
Sun, don't you rise no more A restless wind is whistling Through the canyons, through my head Through all the straits that I've survived
And in my hour of darkness I keep counsel with the dead Just enough to remind me I'm alive
I wrote to the governor for to hear my plea But he don't even answer me The judge said He's bound to set my spirit free
Sun, don't you rise no more? Gavel fell, he chose the day Friday, the thirteenth of May But I don't plan to go that way
Sun, don't you rise no more? That's twenty one fell by my gun With bullets in their brains Just need one more to match my age
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Then I'll count my killin' done But I won't deny my name Quickest wrist Of the chaparral and sage
Now desperate times Call for desperate men I'm just a kid but I'll pretend My time will come but until then
Sun, don't you rise no more? But I see that gallows altar That circle 'round the sun They'll hang me if I stay here Shoot me if I run
That jailer better watch his pride Or off my wrists these shackles slide Hear my restless forty five
Sun, don't you rise no more? And down the valley, down the road To infamy I'll ride
I'll take my pardon on the run With a trail of death behind me And Deluvina at my side Two silhouettes against the sun
Goodnight, my AndalucÃa Don't buy all the lies that they feed ya And while you're heading slowly To some place I can't respect I'll keep you in my collection of regrets
