Twice Dead, Still Riding
TitanChord
They hung me once in Abilene,
Said the rope would scrub me clean
But death just bowed and tipped his brim —
Said, “Boy, you ride ‘til she forgives him”
Twice dead, still riding,
No tomb can keep my oath
I ride ‘tween stars and silence —
A shadow owed by both
They burned my name, they broke my kin,
Left my heart in a flask of sin
But I ain’t gone, I ain’t at rest —
Just headin’ west with nothin’ left
Twice dead, still riding,
No mercy left to show
My horse is made of thunder —
My eyes of ash and crow
If you see me cross the ridge,
Don’t pray, don’t speak, don’t build a bridge
I ain’t the kind to ask or plead —
Just the last thing every sinner reads
Twice dead, still riding,
A name the wind won’t own
Don’t follow where I’m hidin’ —
You’ll ride that path alone
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
They hung me once in Abilene, Said the rope would scrub me clean But death just bowed and tipped his brim — Said, “Boy, you ride ‘til she forgives him”
Twice dead, still riding, No tomb can keep my oath I ride ‘tween stars and silence — A shadow owed by both
They burned my name, they broke my kin, Left my heart in a flask of sin But I ain’t gone, I ain’t at rest — Just headin’ west with nothin’ left
Twice dead, still riding, No mercy left to show My horse is made of thunder — My eyes of ash and crow
If you see me cross the ridge, Don’t pray, don’t speak, don’t build a bridge I ain’t the kind to ask or plead — Just the last thing every sinner reads
Twice dead, still riding, A name the wind won’t own Don’t follow where I’m hidin’ — You’ll ride that path alone
