They say
You held them all to ransom
I say
They're way too late
You came riding out
Tall and handsome
Straight out of Hell's Gate

How'd you know I was so lonely
Feels so good to see you tonight
I feel your hands warm
You know it's only
Your tears cutting my eyes

They say you came down like a comet
Fireball lights up the sky
Well that's a hell of a way
To go now
Must have been a hell of a ride

Your flame burned bright till your luck ran out
A shot ran out
Through the night
Left you lying on that cold cantina floor
Now there's a star burning bright

So goodbye
I must be going
Hope I see you sometime soon
I'll be looking for you when that east wind's blowing
Right around the yellow moon
