Back To The Sun Lyrics - Songs From The Grass String Ranch - Kentucky Headhunters

Daddy told me when I was seventeen 

Live straight, shoot straight 

And always keep my dreams. 

But a man killed him 

Shot him in cold blood. 

As he died, I held his hand 

I think he knew I understood. 

(He said) 

Follow the sun 

Where the west was won 

And the desert kissed the moon 

One day I pray 

That you won't need this gun 

But for now, keep your back to the sun. 

Some kill for money 

Some kill for gold 

I killed for vengence 

Cause I guess they took my soul. 

Now I'm a running man 

Running in the rain. 

I still see their faces 

But the whiskey kills the pain. 

Follow the sun 

Where the west was won 

And the desert kissed the moon
