Dust of the Chase |
| I come down from Oklahoma with a pistol in my boot |
| A pair of dice and a deck of cards and a Bible in my suit |
| I come here as a cause of tears, just as a cryin' shame |
| Seven Stud or Eternal Blood, I’m a-lookin' for a game |
| I double-crossed the State of Texas and they gave me a little time |
| I taught myself to double-cut the cards, hold scriptures in my mind |
| I learned to love the tumbling dice and to believe the Word |
| Tombstones or rollin' bones beats anything I ever heard |
| Patience is a virtue that I do not possess |
| And I can’t deny that heaven lies beneath a cotton dress |
| How small a part of time we share 'til we hear the sound of wings |
| I’m lost in the dust of the chase that my life brings |
| I have walked through God’s green pastures, beneath the rich blue skies |
| I’ve seen the fall of man, kingdom hidden from his eyes |
| I have heard the roar of thunder and I’ve felt the lightnin' bolt |
| And when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take along Samuel |
| Colt |
| Every night I kiss the cards and I hold 'em to my breast |
| And when I see the King of Hearts I know that I am blessed |
| And though my eyes are blind sometimes, I know there’s somethin' there |
| So when the time’s at hand and I kill a man, I say a little prayer |
| So I come down from Oklahoma with a pistol in my boot |
| A pair of dice and a deck of cards and a Bible in my suit |
| How small a part of time we share 'til we hear the sound of wings |
| I am lost in the dust of the chase that my life brings |
| How small a part of time we share 'til we hear the sound of wings |
| I am lost in the dust of the chase that my life brings |
