lyrics

Leaving it all far behind I saddled my pony and went toward the western sky
I don’t mind if I don’t come back alive
And no one’s got to understand the reason why

But when I finally crossed the plains
I lost myself somewhere along the way
The wind swept softly through the grain
Then it was mountain snow and the smell of desert rain

I’m giving my bones to the western lands
After I don’t need ‘em no more

On wild horse one day they came
And my captain gave the order no time for digging a grave
And as in a line we rode away
For the flag I wore on my shoulder I felt so ashamed

But my time as a soldier came to an end
And I settled down on this little piece of land
But the day I saw them riding in
They fired their guns as I waved hello to them

And I gave my bones to the western lands
I don’t need ‘em no more
