I faced the lion of the thoughts in my head
And the shark of my fear til the water was red
I tried to salvage what was left of my friends
But couldn't stand for all their modern day trends
I fought a battle of a thousand to one
Saw bodies fall through the smoke of my gun
But I left them all to face the rain
But I left them all to face the rain
I headed east towards the wheat and the rye
Past johnny law and his all seeing eye
I wouldn't have it, try to lock me away
They shot me down on a dark day in May
But I left them all to face the rain
But I left them all to face the rain
