a gunfighter goes to ground
who will take this burden off of me
who will take this burden off of me?
i’ve carried it down so many roads
and now it’s time to pay the toll
who will take this burden off of me
who will wipe these tears from my eyes
who will wipe these tears from my eyes?
i’ve seen much i didn’t wish to see
on the crooked trail of destiny
who will wipe these tears from eyes
who will help me shut the door
who will help me shut the door?
the evening light is fading fast
shadows creep across my past
who will help me shut the door
who will put their shovel in the ground
who will put their shovel in the ground?
who will dig it down six feet deep
where children stare and widows weep
who will put their shovel in the ground
