lyrics

when the dust starts to clear
and the town turns on you
all the ones you hold dear
become part of the queue

when all of the songs have been sung
you better start casting your sail
you better just tighten your jib
you're in dirt jail

watch you draw your gun
at the edge of her deck
silhouettes in the sun
but this boat is a wreck

gun fight on deck
bullets flash through the air
better sit tight hold your sail
cause there's lead hail

when all of the songs have been sung
you better start casting your sail
you better just tighten your jib
you're in dirt jail
