about
A timeless Western saga bringing an outlaw to justice. A nine piece Texas Swing band powers the story to life.
lyrics
Devil on My Tail
Hat down, boots up, saddle tightly bound
Time to make time by nightfall, Headed for the pass on rocky ground
Hard ride, steep ride, no easy path is around
There’s a devil on my tail, behind me on the trail
I’ve got evidence that’ll bring that outlaw down
Climbing on up oh so surely, just over the pass there’s a town
Where there is a judge to fight evil, and truth and justice can be found
Up ahead, a light shines, to uphold the law, I’m courthouse bound
The long nightmare is almost over, it’s time to face that devil down
There on the steps of the courthouse, all the citizens and judge are around
Together we’ll stop the reckless rampage
Of the outlaw who’s destroyed so many towns
Jury trial, Guilty, Lock him, he’s jailhouse bound
The long nightmare at last is over, and finally we’ll all be safe and sound
