With blood red boots a shadow stumbled through my door Throwing matches & flickin' ashes onto my dirt floor I don't know from where he came I don't care where he's been but I was lying in my darkness when he saved my skin I wish that I could let it be instead it's taken over me And I can't escape it now Oh Lonesome Rider, Oh Lonesome Rider Burning down that dusty road of Hwy 59 He's my only lonely outlaw who'd lay it on the line Well our love was just another faded memory until he came into my garden Yeah he came and rescued me I wish that I could just be free instead it's taken over me And I can't escape it now Oh Lonesome Rider, Oh Lonesome Rider There's a strong wind whipping in the distant fire light One road to freedom I can see the pale moon rise Oh Lonesome Rider, Oh Lonesome Rider Oh Lonesome Rider, Oh Lonesome Rider...
