Ryan Swob - The Ballad of a Texan's Ghost [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Well I got home a little past three
And found my wife hid a secret from me
I wasn't supposed to be back till four
I'm home I said when I opened the door
When the house was quiet I got a little scared
I held my breath and walked up those stairs
I saw another man laying in my bed
When he caught my eye he knew he was dead

[Chorus]
The drinking gourd ain't safe for me
They're looking for me in Abilene
Further South is where I gotta go
I'll make a home in Mexico

[Verse 2]
I had never left the lone star state
And looking back now it ain't to great
Everybody tried to make money on my head
500 bucks alive or dead
I almost got caught down in San Ange
By a little old lady and a big old man
My posters were miles around
And i just barely got out of town

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I got as far as Del Rio
I was almost over next thing I know
The marshal shot me in the back
And stopped me dead in my tracks
I guess they got me I had lost
Sent me home in a box
Now I'm in the ground like that guy I shot
My only regret is getting caught

[Outro]
Looks like no place was safe for me
I'm in the ground in Abilene
Wish I had got to Mexico
But I turned my back in Del Rio
