Nickel Creek - Pecos Bill

Tekst :

Now Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas
Why, he s the Western Superman to say the least
He was the roughest, toughest critter, never known to be a quitter
Cause he never had no fear of man nor beast
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He s the toughest critter west of the Alamo
Once he roped a raging cyclone out of nowhere
Then he straddled it and settled down with ease
And while that cyclone bucked and flitted, Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it
And he tamed that ornery wind down to a breeze
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He s the toughest critter west of the Alamo
Now once there was a drought that spread all over Texas
So to sunny Californy he did go
And though the gag is kind of corny, he brought rain from Californy
And that s the way we got the Gulf of Mexico
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He s the toughest critter west of the Alamo
Now once a band of rustlers stole a herd of cattle
But they didn t know the herd they stole was Bill s
And when he caught them crooked villains
Pecos knocked out all their fillings
That s the reason why there s gold them thar hills
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He s the toughest critter west of the Alamo
Pecos lost his way while traveling on the desert (Water, water, water...)
It was ninety miles across the burning sand (Water, water, water...)
He knew he d never reach the border (Water...)
If he didn t get some water (Water...)
So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande
(Yodeling)
While a tribe of painted Indians did a wardance
Pecos started shooting up their little game
He gave those redskins such a shakeup
That they jumped out of their makeup
That s how the Painted Desert got it s name
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He s the toughest critter west of the Alamo
While reclining on a cloud high over Texas
With his guns he made the stars evaporate
Then Pecos saw them stars declining
So he left one brightly shining
As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He s the toughest critter west of the Alamo
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He s the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State

    It s a swamp
    Just a jungle
    Tigers slipping through all the time
    Snakes and alligators
    Want to have a piece of what is mine
    I don t pay
    No attention
    To the nastiness going down
    Just above me
    Within my...

    Mantis

    As I think of you.
    With cries that pierce me to the heart
    For I own all the beasts
    Of the forest beasts in theirs thousands on my hills.
    With cries that pierce me
    To the heart my enemies
    Revile saying all the day
    Where is your God?
    You love evil more, than good lies more than truth...

    Intro:

    One night in iowa, he and i in a borrowed car
    Went driving in the summer, promises in every star
    Out in the distance i could hear some people laughing
    I felt my heart beat back a weekend s worth of sadness

    Overburdend

    Hell is still overburdened
    I must stand and wait in line
    I may never know for certain when will be my time
    How was I considered evil?
    Vengeance taken in this life
    Someone granted me
    We re evil decades spent in ..

    Led to nothing
    Repeat it in mind
