Letra de Las Cruces Jail - Two Gallants

Well i spent last night in las cruces jail. rain and hail. born to fail. nobody come for to go my bail. sun don�t you rise no more. guess i killed one man on the county line. took his dime and i blew his mind. now i�m just sittin� here doin� time. sun don�t you rise no more. a restless wind is whistling through the canyons, through my head, through all the straits that i�ve survived. and in my hour of darkness i keep counsel with the dead, just enough to remind me i�m alive. i wrote to the governor for to hear my plea but he don�t even answer me. the judge said he�s bound to set my spirit free. sun don�t you rise no more. gavel fell, he chose the day, friday the thirteenth of may. but i don�t plan to go that way. sun don�t you rise no more. that�s twenty-one fell by my gun, with bullets in their brains. just need one more to match my age. then i�ll count my killin� done but i won�t deny my name: quickest wrist of the chaparral and sage. now desperate times call for desperate men, i�m just a kid but i�ll pretend. my time will come but until then, sun don�t you rise no more. but i see that gallows altar, that circle �round the sun. they�ll hang me if i stay here, shoot me if i run. that jailer better watch his pride or off my wrists these shackles slide. hear my restless forty-five. sun don�t you rise no more.
And down the valley, down the road, to infamy i�ll ride.
I�ll take my pardon on the run, with a trail of death behind me and deluvina at my side, two silhouettes against the sun.
[epilogue: goodnight my andalucía. don�t buy all the lies that they feedya. and while you�re heading slowly to some place i cant respect, i�ll keep you in my collection of regretsæduerme bien, querido.]
