Valley Of The Gun

The Devil died the day I was born
Cowards tremble in the storm
Rain rolls off the angel’s wings
Crows scatter when the white dove sings
Though I walk alone through the Valley of the Gun
I fear no evil, I fear no one

I wanna leave my old self behind
Get warm by the fire burning in the sky
The cold covers me like a blanket of snow
Lord have mercy, show me where to go
I’m sitting at the table with you and all my foes
I’m hungry and I’m lonely as a ragged old scare crow
They point and they stare like a traveling side show
I’m wearing this smile like a mask of fools gold
Though I walk alone through the Valley of the Gun
I fear no evil, I fear no one

I wanna leave my old self behind
Get warm by the fire burning in our sky
The cold covers me like a blanket of snow
Lord have mercy, show me where to go
I built this chain one link at a time
Like the fate of all things,
It’s gonna rust and lose its shine
Everybody’s handed their burdens to bare
We’re all gonna get our own fair share
Though I walk alone through the Valley of the Gun
I fear no evil, I fear no one

I had to leave my old self behind
And get warm by the fire burning in the sky
The cold covered me like a blanket of snow
The Lord showed mercy, he showed me where to go
Where to go
