Sat up late last night, you had the twilight all in your eyes
We watched the fires die ever so slowly on the mountain side
But now the trail is cold, 'til we grow up and grow old
Whoa, we'll live by the pistol
I know, Lord, I know, blood brothers we have come to be
We take no quarter from the outside, no band of miscreants are we
But now you speak the sin of bandits, there is but one
Whoa, do you feel like dancing?
Speak one word, it's your immortal soul
But you know it's alright, it's alright
Caught my eye through the lead and fire, she had me
Snuck upon me, she was brandishing a little flame that night
She showed me everything and as she says goodnight, I know
Ain't nothing I can say to the boys in the Marshall Hawthorne gang
Daddy was a preacher man way down in Houston town
His mama made a tidy living, 'least once the jewels were handed down
But then he ran away, told us all because love was too easy
Marshall Hawthorne, he made his way into them smoky hills
And with his daddy's Smith and Wesson, yeah, he found a way to pay them bills
Upon discovering an abandoned old chapel, the hideout became, the almighty evicted
Speak one word, it's your immortal soul
But you know it's alright, it's alright
Caught my eye 'tween the lead and fire, she had me
Snuck upon me, she was brandishing a little flame that night
She showed me everything and as she says goodnight, I know
Ain't nothing I can say to the boys in the Marshall Hawthorne gang
