lyrics

Angel I thought you wanted some help
Go on and get the carriage wheel fixed
And the boy I will pass the time it takes to get repaired in this saloon
Until temptation from a familiar old world gets the better of me
I tried to settle down but that deck, it was always stacked against me
The well that keeps on wishing for it to rain
Lay fourth the spoils of your labors contentment
Built the burden of a life so full of resentment
But if I just had one more chance
I could draw that winning hand
And instead of settling down merely on this meager land
We can rule the range all the cattle having our brand
Be the masters of the open land and command
It seems better than treading through a poor creatures sand
But my vice is wearing the walls of my heart so thin
That I collapse in the moment when I need to rise again
Take the reins of hope now that the wheel is fixed
And if you play my hand for me we just might win
If you my love can transform my sin into hope
We will be able to harness the rope
And pull in the spoils I had always promised
But could never pretend I could deliver
Inch by inch towards that beautiful spot on the river
It can be ours honey, it can be
