The Kid Lyrics - The Last Pale Light In The West - Ben Nichols

Your mother died night you were born her name you never knew 

Look away 

Look away 

Nothing to loose 

left east tenneessee at fourteen 

Wonderd to the west 

Look away 

Look away 

Born into death 

you fought the salors in New Orleans 

You worked the flat boats and walked the streets 

Hit Nachdogdes in '49 

And there you saw the devil for the very first time 

(chorus) 

Kid don;t you know me 

We are the last of the true 

Drink up drink up 

Drink up drink up 

Cause tonight your souls required of you 

Signed on with a stone mad captian rode on mexico 

Look away 

Look away 

War behold 

Jailed with killers one and all but we were killers free 

Look away 

Look away 

Look to me 

you saw the lancers 'mid heathen hordes 

Bloodstained viels 

And costumes of war 

Hell ain't that full boy hear me 

War is the game and the god we seek 

(chorus) 

(bridge) 

we set out as men of reason armed with navy colts 

Look away 

Look away 

Work paid in gold 

but you stood witness to yourself our trial you did betray 

Look away 

Look away 

To judgement day 

we killed in the dessert we killed in the streets 

We choose what shall and shall not be 

We stood with pistols fought back to back 

Now you've stood your ground but what ground is that 

(chorus)
