lyrics

I'll tell you folks of interesting times
Of black Dakota hills, rhyming mines
The story of it all, The story of it all
Black Cactus Inn
is where our tragedy begins:

I'm a working man, drink to reason
When a flirty gal in a southern sort of way
Came up to spend the night

And who would appear, in this murky saloon
But a gun slinging lark of a local drunk

Time to settle injustices and draw

[spoken] Stone killer gets you, loosens up your screws
I do the best I can with what I've got but don't mistake

[hysterical voices]

Temperature rising
Smoke warmed gun
A harsh silhouette stains the bedroom floor
I packed my things into my
Saddle bag
I paid my dues to naughty Nance and out I went
And out I go
Black Cactus, sow my road

Black Cactus Inn (insane)
