Eagles - Doolin-Dalton lyrics
[Eagles - Doolin-Dalton lyrics]
They were dueling, Doolin-Dalton
High or low, it was the same
Easy money and faithless women
Red-eye whiskey for the pain
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will
Two brothers lying dead in Coffeyville
Two voices call to you from where they stood
Lay down your law books now
They're no damn good
Better keep on moving, Doolin-Dalton
Till your shadow sets you free
If you're fast, and if you're lucky
You will never see that hanging tree
Well, the towns lay out
Across the dusty plains
Like graveyards filled with tombstones
Waiting for the names
And a man could use his back
Or use his brains
But some just went stir crazy, Lord
Cause nothing ever changed
Until Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
He was working cheap, just biding time
Then he laughed and said, I'm going
And so he left that peaceful life behind mmh
High or low, it was the same
Easy money and faithless women
Red-eye whiskey for the pain
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will
Two brothers lying dead in Coffeyville
Two voices call to you from where they stood
Lay down your law books now
They're no damn good
Better keep on moving, Doolin-Dalton
Till your shadow sets you free
If you're fast, and if you're lucky
You will never see that hanging tree
Well, the towns lay out
Across the dusty plains
Like graveyards filled with tombstones
Waiting for the names
And a man could use his back
Or use his brains
But some just went stir crazy, Lord
Cause nothing ever changed
Until Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
He was working cheap, just biding time
Then he laughed and said, I'm going
And so he left that peaceful life behind mmh
