Cowskulls and Ghostowns - Patricia Vonne

Tombstone Arizona Deadwood South Dakota*

I’m running just as fast as I can

Deer in the headlights

Dead Mans Valley

I can see the blood on your hands

Come on over baby

There’s a full moon rising

And a shot that’ll rattle the dead

Rattlers in the basin

Bones in the churchyard

Of the ones that didn’t have a chance

Cowskulls and ghosttowns

Prowl the streets by candlelight

Gunfighter’s rage settled in the street

Rattle snake trigger brings a man to his knees

Down your road to perdition

In your own private prison

Hear the ghosts slamming the tracks

With the lives you’ve forsaken

And the souls that’s you’ve taken

Watch the devil dance
