"13 Banditos" lyrics
Under an orange sky a cowboy rides south in the desert
With only his rifle, his horse, and a photo of Jane
She was the only one he'd ever loved but he left her
And thirteen reasons why, were all catching up to him today
He said I can't hold you now
Tonight I can't see you darling
But I know that we both will be
Dancing together one day
His right was heavy with the gun that he carried and the weight of the world
From El Paso to Houston, every town knew him by name
But a man's reputation lasts only as long as his bullets
And he counted thirteen banditos all riding his way
He said I can't hold you now
Tonight I can't see you darling
There's thirteen banditos
Keeping me out on the road again
He said I can't hold you now
I may not be near you darling
But I know that we both will be dancing together one day
For three hundred miles they had chased him
But he knew that he could not escape
They had come to atone for his sins
And the lives he had claimed
So he thought of his lover as he counted the bullets beside him
And with only a dozen, loaded the chamber and sing
He sang I can't hold you know
Tonight I can't see you darling
There's thirteen banditos
Keeping me out on the road again
He said I can't hold you now
I may not be near you darling
But I know that we both will be dancing together one day
With only his rifle, his horse, and a photo of Jane
She was the only one he'd ever loved but he left her
And thirteen reasons why, were all catching up to him today
He said I can't hold you now
Tonight I can't see you darling
But I know that we both will be
Dancing together one day
His right was heavy with the gun that he carried and the weight of the world
From El Paso to Houston, every town knew him by name
But a man's reputation lasts only as long as his bullets
And he counted thirteen banditos all riding his way
He said I can't hold you now
Tonight I can't see you darling
There's thirteen banditos
Keeping me out on the road again
He said I can't hold you now
I may not be near you darling
But I know that we both will be dancing together one day
For three hundred miles they had chased him
But he knew that he could not escape
They had come to atone for his sins
And the lives he had claimed
So he thought of his lover as he counted the bullets beside him
And with only a dozen, loaded the chamber and sing
He sang I can't hold you know
Tonight I can't see you darling
There's thirteen banditos
Keeping me out on the road again
He said I can't hold you now
I may not be near you darling
But I know that we both will be dancing together one day
