Reach Lyrics - Singles - Martini Ranch

He robbed a train near Santa Fe 

For money and for riches 

It ended on a chain gang 

With those dirty sons of bitches 

When the shadow of the night came on 

He was gone 

One day he bought himself a gun 

Said "Now I'm gonna make them pay" 

"Reach!" I heard him say 

"Guess this ain't your lucky day" 

"Reach!" I heard him say 

Then he smiled and rode away 

He was headed for the future 

Running from his past 

Looking for adventure 

Ridin' hard and fast 

Hell bent for leather 

Foamin' at the bit 

Saddle sore and weary 

In a three-way split, awww, shit... 

When the shadow of the night came on 

Holmes, he was gone 

One day he rode into my town 

This was all he had to say 

"Reach!" I heard him say 

"I'm back in town and I'm here to stay" 

"Reach!" I heard him say 

"Where's my gal, Maggie Mae?" 

"Reach!" I heard him say 

"Guess this ain't your lucky day" 

"Reach!" I heard him say 

"Get the band, let's hear them play" 

One day a posse gunned him down 

This was all they had to say 

"Reach!" I heard them say 

"I guess this ain't your lucky day" 

"Reach!" I heard them say 

Then they smiled and rode away
