Long ago there was
A band of thieves,
Fled the law out in
Their native streets.
Rode all night into the
Break of the day,
And where they settled,
There they stayed.
It's hard surviving where no
Living things grows.
Wolves are praying on
A good man's soul.
Don't need no water and
They don't need meat.
Good intentions' all they need.
Chorus:
Can't be a hero in a
No man's land.
Take your gun and run
As fast as you can.
Wolves are mighty and
They're moving your way.
Save your fighting for
Another day.
Years go by out in the
Rest of the world.
Folks tell stories to their
Boys and Girls.
They grow up and pass
Their tall tales down.
Ain't a dry ear left
Around.
And heads will hang
For those who believe,
In a land that was cursed
By thieves.
Wolves are waiting for the
Wandering man
With good intentions on his
Hands.
Can't be a hero in a
No man's land.
Take your gun and run
As fast as you can.
Wolves are mighty and
They're moving your way.
Save your fighting for
Another day.
There's a place out in
The lonesome West,
Where men come and bring
Their wholesome best.
Good intentions drive the
wandering man,
Who comes to change the
Lonesome land.
