| I rode myself into the ground | 
| But hell, it’s almost over now | 
| I don’t see nothing but the light | 
| Darkness filled my days | 
| The rising sun has shown the way | 
| And I don’t see nothing but the light | 
| A preacher’s lesson, simply armageddon | 
| The devil, he knows how to write | 
| Killer of men, no way to save them | 
| Hey now we all have to die | 
| You wouldn’t think that out here | 
| A man could simply run clear | 
| Out of country, but oh my, oh my Oh my, oh my, nothing but the light | 
| They took my ears in Omaha | 
| I thought me dead but I weren’t at all | 
| And I left them bleeding in the mud | 
| They ran in me for horse thievery | 
| Between my eyes for all to see | 
| And I left them bleeding in the mud | 
| When this wall was made | 
| It was never meant to save everyone in kind | 
| I don’t believe God much had me, had me much in mind | 
| You wouldn’t think that out here | 
| A man could simply run clear | 
| Out of country, but oh my, oh my Oh my, oh my, there’s nothing but the light | 
| So tell the barkeep, «What is there to drink?» | 
| Just a minimal risk of blindness or death | 
| It all taste of ashes, seems that’s always what we get | 
| It’s all they have to give | 
| You wouldn’t think that out here | 
| A man could simply run clear | 
| Out of country, but oh my, oh my Oh my, oh my, | 
| Nothing but the light |
