Grateful Dead - Me and my uncle

Tekst :

Me and my uncle went ridin down,
South Colorado, West Texas bound.
We stopped over in Santa Fe,
That bein the point just about half way,
And you know it was the hottest part of the day.

I took the horses up to the stall,
Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all.
Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt,
It bein summer, I took off my shirt,
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt.

West Texas cowboys, they s all around,
With liquor and money, they re loaded down.
So soon after payday, know it seemed a shame;
You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game,
High-low jack and the winner take the hand.

My uncle starts winnin ; cowboys got sore.
One of them called him, and then two more,
Accused him of cheatin ; Oh no, it couldn t be.
I know my uncle, he s as honest as me,
And I m as honest as a gamblin man can be.

One of them cowboys, he starts to draw,
And I shot him down, Lord he never saw.
Shot me another, oh damn he won t grow old.
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold,
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico.

I love those cowboys, I love their gold,
I loved my uncle, God rest his soul,
Taught me good, Lord, Taught me all I know
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road.

On the road again

Born from pain

Strength. Born from pain. Beyond that of my flesh.
Betrayed, robbed and beaten, but not defeated. Through my
search for allies, I have found myself.
Persistance is the answer to regain all that was taken.
Hatred drives me onwards
across to desolation of dying dreams...
