Song for Zak

A long cap’n’ball firmly fits leather holster
And the hot sun is burning your neck
Four rounds in a drum and two bucks in your pocket
You hardly will fight your way back

There’s blood on your fists and sand fills your bottle
And something so dark’s on your mind
Big hole in your heart and your soul’s devastated
There’s nothing worth you left behind

***

You’re riding alone down that long lonesome valley
And seems that day never will end
You’re tired as a dog, like a wolf you are hungry
And thirsty so hard you can’t stand.

You never give up, tears don’t fall from your eyes
You thought luck always followed your way
You’re grinding your teeth, but the pain wouldn’t stop
Even cowboys are cryin’ for some day

***

Your feeling's all gone, right away with your sweetheart
So you’ll be alone for some nights
But days - they will pass, now you’re up for another
The time - it will soon turn the tide

So cheer up my friend, every end’s just beginning
The death only will stop our ride
But nothing can bother the song I am singin’
There’s nothing worth we leave behind
