lyrics

Sam’s House was empty, except for Sam & the whiskey
and we talked about horses we’d rode & we waited for the dawn
I’d run a few times before and she’d always come to get me
Sam’s house is just down the road, but she don’t know how far

Winter was over. We got by but we had to scrape & those
Lilacs were bloomin in the canyon & I was afraid.
When good horses die, we hang up their hides to scrape1
and someday I will sing your name...

Constance. Is there justice on this earth? Is the country of my birth
still a burden?
If the love that I was given was more than I was worth
Will I ever be forgiven - did I get what I deserved? Constance.

We were warm once- when it was 20 below
and we burned each other’s brands in our backs and we rode as high as those
Sonorans
I was standin’ by the round pen gate, where I’d stood before
where I stood when I heard your voice and the whole damn world was darkenin’
This whole wicked world gets darker yet

Constance. Is there justice on this earth? Is the country of my birth
still a burden?
If the love that I was given was more than I was worth
Will I ever be forgiven - did I get what I deserved? Constance.
