Prayin For Shelter

i rode in to a one horse town just west of cherokee
dancin with miss sarah jane man she was hot for me
one question that i failed to ask ill regret for all my days
seems she was the wayward wife of marshall willie hayes

now im whiskey drunk ridin hard headin for the hills
prayin to god and swearin off drinkin and dance hall girls
hes 2 hours back and gainin fast with seven quick draw men
now im under the gun im on the run and i cant go home again

im a wanted man my time is short and i dont know how much more i can stand
hell be comin tonight
and im prayin for shelter on the last day of my life
