Charro !   F2WB 8115-7 With eyes that hide the man within You see behind the eyes of, other men You've lived and died and come to life again And now you stand alone at the crossroads of your mind You've left your yesterdays behind.. But which road leads you to tomorrow? Charro... You've turned your back on yesterday Betrayed a man who swore he'd make you pay For when you left you took his pride away You know he'll never let you break away so easily You'll have to fight, before you're free But how much more time can you borrow? Charro... Now in a single moment your past grows dim One thought goes racing across your mind You ride to meet the woman you stole from him Oh no!...Charro don't go!... Charro don't go!!... There's something hanging, in the wind Your past is catching up and closing in You've been halfway to hell and back again And now you laugh in the devil's face with your last breath... You'll run a race with life and death... But will you live to see tomorrow? Charro                                        Billy Strange / Mac Davis Rafał Kuliński OFC EP Raised On Rock
