I know my way with a colt of steel
And now I'm here, I've made my choice
Nobody's going to take my phone call
Nobody wants to hear my voice
By night I dream of the open prairie
By day I work breaking stones
But if I'm here or living freely
I know I'm in this world alone
So I sing, Hey, Hey, Hey
I could not stand the wrong he done me
And all my rage has brought me shame
Now all the world is two souls poorer
Though everybody knows just who to blame
(Chorus)
Justice has tipped
Tipped her scale
Gonna live out my life
In the Cave Creek Jail
Live out my life
In the Cave Creek Jail
Soon I'll be hard and gray as flintrock
Smooth and cold without a spark
But in my hear t, there's still an ember
Smoldering slowly in the dark
