Saddle Tramp Lyrics - Molly Hatchet

Well I pulled out of canyon county, great cradle of the west 

My mama and me and one alone dog tryin' to do our best 

Strangers all around me said no one knew my name 

I came to take the back this land, I came to stake my claim, yes sir 

The farm is all I've ever known, it bears my families name 

But damn my brother got drunk one night and lost it all in a poker game 

Shots rang through the silence, I heard the angels cry 

You never arrive a winner, a saint or a sinner, the boy said aces high 

Saddle Tramp you're back in action 

Lookin' for the man who took my brother, I came to put him down 

Saddle Tramp you spend your whole life runnin' like the wind 

Going for the bounty but riding for the thrill, yeah 

Mama died of a broken heart, the way my brother threw his life away 

But when they put him in the ground, it like to kill me just the same 

Half past the hour of midnight, looked into the killers eyes 

I pulled my 45 and bullets started flyin', the man he had to die 

Saddle Tramp you're back in action 

Lookin' for the man who took my brother, I came to put him down 

Saddle Tramp you spend your whole life runnin' like the wind 

Going for the bounty but riding for the thrill 

Saddle Tramp you're back in action 

Lookin' for the man who took my brother, I came to put him down 

Saddle Tramp you spend your whole life runnin' like the wind 

Going for the bounty but riding for the thrill 

Saddle Tramp you're back in action 

Lookin' for the man who took my brother, I came to put him down 

Saddle Tramp you spend your whole life runnin' like the wind 

Going for the bounty but riding for the thrill 

Every time you take a life the devils watching you 

He'll fill you with a pack of lies and he'll steal your soul from you, I say
