Marshall County Hangmen Last Pale Sunset Lyrics

He was a lonesome kind
Set adrift by circumstance
Hired hand set up to fail
With and eye to the sky
And an ear to the ground
Moving on to tomorrow
Don't have many memories
Not much to share
Just a cowboy and his pony
One step ahead of the law
More than one had tried and failed
To bring him down

Just one last look
Of the heavens and the skies
No time left
No regrets
No goodbyes
It was the last pale sunset of the west

He'd grown tired and weary
Travelin' took it's toll
No other way to go
Thinking just wanting out
He thought of the hard road
That lie ahead

Then it finally came the end
Waiting,
Watching, wondering
How it would be
They built the gallows
Way upon a hill
Facing the sunset
It would be his last

Just one last look

There's no time left

The hangman pulls the lever

It was The last pale sunset of the west

It was the last pale sunset of the west
