Lyrics
On a dusty old trail a young cowboy sleeps easy
As the evening moon shines across the plain
The ruthless intentions of an ill-fated dreamer
Have always ended this way
A trusty old six-gun he captured for his power
Is now lying free upon the ground
And an old horse, the only friend he knew
Is patiently hanging around
When silver-lined saddles and deep Texas romance unfold
For what it's all worth a young cowboy would give his own soul
And the price of a life is a payment for thundering moon
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
For all who must wonder the wind holds her secret
But a footstone will tell the story true
A bitter reminder for all who must wonder
The evil that one man can do
Just like this young cowboy who's dead on the prairie
His fortunes were all sought in vain
And a cold grave is all that they hallowed
Too short for a gunfighter's claim
When silver-lined saddles and deep Texas romance unfold
For what it's all worth a young cowboy would give his own soul
And the price of a life is a payment for thundering moon
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
As the evening moon shines across the plain
The ruthless intentions of an ill-fated dreamer
Have always ended this way
A trusty old six-gun he captured for his power
Is now lying free upon the ground
And an old horse, the only friend he knew
Is patiently hanging around
When silver-lined saddles and deep Texas romance unfold
For what it's all worth a young cowboy would give his own soul
And the price of a life is a payment for thundering moon
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
For all who must wonder the wind holds her secret
But a footstone will tell the story true
A bitter reminder for all who must wonder
The evil that one man can do
Just like this young cowboy who's dead on the prairie
His fortunes were all sought in vain
And a cold grave is all that they hallowed
Too short for a gunfighter's claim
When silver-lined saddles and deep Texas romance unfold
For what it's all worth a young cowboy would give his own soul
And the price of a life is a payment for thundering moon
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
