lyrics

We came from the north and east and headed south and west
The lure of gold and silver proving too hard to resist
The journey was a long one, losing friends a price we paid
Some took bullets, some took whiskey, some the law-men took away
It was just our luck that we missed the rush and there weren’t no turning back
So we withdrew a lifetime’s savings from the Western Union bank

CHORUS
I’ve got a whole new ending for us
A blinding light and an angel’s chorus

They sent the best that money buys to track us down
We rode our luck ‘til it gave up and left us in this town
Unsurrendered but surrounded in this lonely Spanish square
The mission bell is ringing, vultures circle in the air
It’s not simply chance or happenstance that we fit like hand in glove
Perhaps we chose this way of life but maybe it chose us

CHORUS
I’ve got a whole new ending for us
A blinding light and an angel’s chorus
It’s not too late for us to change this story
And let them shoot us down in a blaze of glory

BRIDGE
We’ve been to places you can’t find on any map
We’ve got tales to tell the children that we know we’ll never have

We’re either reaching for our guns or else we’re reaching for the clear, blue sky
But we can’t walk out of here with both our hands and our heads held high

CHORUS
I’ve got a whole new ending for us
A blinding light and an angel’s chorus
It’s not too late for us to change this story
And let them shoot us down in a blaze of glory
