Rules made by outlaws
Justice knows no ends
The Lone Star State
Full of men of hate
Mclean surrounded by devils rope
Diluted from all hope
Been in this town for years and years
Building pine boxes from tears
Five men in a line
Dressed for the dead
Limes on their eyes
Another shot through the head
I need a haircut for Texas
Because I wanna’ been seen by you.
Jose Miguel never wanted to fight
A young rancheros American plight
Rode from Juarez to work the land, Fate sealed by a nameless hand.
Hair and nails polished right, Boots and hearts ready to step
Five men in a line
Dressed for the dead
Limes on their eyes
Another shot through the head
I need a haircut for Texas
Because I wanna’ been seen by you.
Walking South like a saint
Mixing the powder and paint
Curtis e saw his time
Knowing the guilt of his crime
The townsfolk never came
Forever feeling their shame
The Spanish prince facing the pain
Never to be seen again
Five men in a line
Dressed for the dead
Limes on their eyes
Another shot through the head
I need a haircut for Texas
Because I wanna’ been seen by you.
