lyrics

You've been haunted
you've been haunted
you've been riding all night long

you might think about it
you might think about it
but you know that your thoughts they aren't that strong

you got bullets, barbed wire, now you're a gun
bullets, barbed wire, now your a gun

the dawn is sprawling
the dawn is sprawling
you reminded me of the western plains

I read a book about it
read a book about it
full of violent stories from those cowboy days

your fear is the weapon that you've become
bullets, barbed wire, now you're a gun

you taught yourself to hear
you taught yourself to hear
and you learned to move without ever being seen

you might think about it
you might think about it
but your thoughts don't stand a chance against those dreams

your fear is the weapon that you've become
bullets, barbed wire, now you're a gun

there's a place in the wake of the sprawling plains
there's a place in the wake of the sprawling plains
where the silence meets it's end

and you can't turn back and you must press on
you can't turn back and you must press on
you can't turn back you must press on

I could've loved you in any time.
