These Wild Plains - Cazador Lyrics

The night was cold and dark
A special kind of black
Shining on the lake just like a diamond
Saw him in the distance
Through that glowing window pane
I knew right then how this was gonna play

Sweet Baby James ringing on that Zodiac
Leaning on it, trying to decide his fate
Saw me in the glass behind him
Eyes locked straight ahead
Turning 'round will never save your name
No, turning 'round will never save your name

Some will say they saw me walk with him that day
Others saw him jumping from a train
'Cause I went to gun him down
But swear he got away

Leaned in close to tell him how it's gonna be
Saw the sweat bead, and falling to his knees
Five is what I got, son, but one is all I need
To send you to a place you've only dreamed

Some will say they saw me walk with you that day
Others saw you jumping from a train
If I had it my way, I'd be visiting your grave
'Cause I went to gun you down
Went to gun you down
But swear you got away
