Marshall Tucker Band - Silverado lyrics

As a young man I was raised by men of the cloth
and I was tought to judge men equal and not to find their faults
until one day I witnessed a tragic thing
the men lay on the church steps, slain
and when the smoke cleared a tall man holstered his gun
the bright day ended and a cloud did cover the sun
I found hate in my heart that I'd never known before
I'll see this man hang and if that's the one thing that I know for sure

Silverado you'll hang by the hangman's tree and you'll die in misery

His face remained in my eyes as I grew through the years
I practiced shooting every day while trying to hold back the tears Marshall Tucker Band - Silverado - http://motolyrics.com/marshall-tucker-band/silverado-lyrics.html
I travelled through Oklahoma and Texas to the Rio Grande
knowing when I met Silverado the Lord would steady my hand

Silverado you'll hang by the hangman's tree and you'll die in misery

Then the day came I dreamed of for years
Silverado stood before me and my heart it pounded in fear
as he turned and saw my eyes he knew why I'd come
and without a flick of the eyes he went for his gun
and as I caused a fight tears come to my eyes
when he collapsed before me I dropped my gun an sighed

Silverado you'll hang by the hangman's tree and you'll die in misery
