Johnny cash ride this train (part 2) lyrics

Ride this train to any little trail in the West you may find me riding alone late at night 



My poor old horse don't understand why I ride at night and sleep in the daytime 



Or why we ride in the bushes and hide every time I hear a noise 



Well that's all I've done for months now running and hiding 



You see my name is John Wesley Hardin no I'm not proud of the name anymore 



They say I've killed forty men they tell a lot of different stories about me 



Of course I guess I'm to blame for a lot of it 



I killed the first time when I was fifteen to save my life but then I had to do it again 



Then every bum in the country that was fast with the gun started lookin' for me 



They called me the fastest gun alive and I guess I was fast or I wouldn't be alive now 



I got to where I couldn't walk down a street or in a saloon 



Without some trigger-happy cowpoke 



Wantin' to prove he could outdraw old John Wesley Hardin 



Maybe I got a little bitter and didn't care whether I killed or not for a while 



And I never quite forgot when the authorities in Huntsville prison 



Dragged me up in the snow naked and horsewhipped me 



Well that's why I'm ridin' at night I want to go where no one has ever seen me 



Where I won't even have to wear a gun 



Maybe I'll settle down in a quiet little town somewhere 



Even get a job on the right side of the law who knows 



Maybe in a new town the people will let me forget
