Dawn's Early Light

That old prairie wind is blowing.
 I can feel it on my face.
 As a land rolls out before me.
 Everything now
 is in its place.
 My old home
 no, I'll never go to.
 My old home
 I'll never see.
 For I must ride now
 across these flat lands
 fleeing the man go'ed
 and murdered me.
 By the dawn's early light
 oh, I'm gonna saddle up and ride.
 By the dawn's early light
 ride through the night
 into the dawn's early light.
 In the state of Indiana
 lived the man who killed my son.
 I shot his ass dead.
 I did in Indy.
 After ten long years on the road.
 But that old man he was not a loner.
 Had two brothers, don't you see?
 They flipped a coin.
 Down to their fate decide
 which one would come and murder me.
 By the dawn's early light
 oh, I'm gonna saddle up and ride.
 By the dawn's early light
 ride through the night
 into the dawn's early light.
 Sun comes up and down in a valley
 In the air sensation over me.
 And I see cold men up around the corner.
 Both of the brothers riding right in front of me.
 Down in a valley its two against one.
 All men reaching for their guns.
 Three. Three. Three shots
 fire down in a valley.
 Two men dying in the morning sun.
 By the dawn's early light
 now my boy laying by my side.
 By the dawn's early light
 as I lay me down to die
 in the dawn's early light.
 By the dawn's early light
 now, I'm gonna saddle up and ride.
 By the dawn's early light
 ride through the night
 into the dawn's early light.
 Riding along
 into the night [repeat]
