41 Thunderer Lyrics - Singles - Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer

In fair silver city on the blind side of fate 

I grew up to manhood on the narrow and straight 

But prideful i stumbeled, and foolish i fell 

In the silken fine trammels of a cruel yankee belle 

Slender and wicked, flame in her eyes 

Pearl white and nickel 'round the curve of her thighs 

Smooth as dry whiskey, but cold to caress 

She slid like a viper from her tooled leather dress 

Forty-one thunderer, colt repeater 

She's a silver-tongued wonder and a mean mistreater 

Six-eyed delilah, brazen and bold 

Now it's stand and deliver, and fire in the hole 

Forty-one thunderer turn loose o' my soul 

I feared not the lawman nor the thief in the night 

Nor angel nor devil when she went by my side 

And her hunger burned blazes till it felt like my own 

Her wanderin' heart drove me wild and alone 

Forty-one thunderer... 

We rode out from canaan in search of our fortune 

Or something' worth dyin' for, beauty or evermore 

Over the blackwater flats with her jackrabbits running 

Under a sky burnin' brimstone and reckoning 

Sweet for the hope of rain 

And the sand in your teeth grindin' tiny white diamonds 

To moments of loss that you cannot explain 

So come demon lover when the long night is through 

And sing me your lullaby, simple and true 

For legends will tarnish and trigger will rust 

And the road over glory come to ashes and dust 

Forty-one thunderer...
