When the stage is bare I sit and ponder The show is over folks im done the curtain is falling Im hanging up my hat for good This boy from Texas had a good run Last notch on this outlaws gun Etched in my life like the carving on the tree It stood tall over there in nineteen hundred and ninety three But it's over now all hope is gone No family no friends no love no home The business end of a 45 don't play I guess that's my justice in some dark way The show is over none left here to see If you see me in hell say a prayer for me
