I came out West to find the man
Who turned the setting sun
Out to the desert burning sand
Because my race had run
The women that I knew back East
They laughed the day I left
They could not tame the savage beast
My mind it was bereft
Be free be free they said to me
Be free free as you will
Be free be free and you will be
Impossible to kill
Got off the train and walked through town
While tears fell from my eyes
But no one stopped to help me out
Guess that was no surprise
The hills rose up and up and up
Up to the mountain top
I had no place to spill my gut
But there I had to stop
The night was colder than I've known
The stars burned through my soul
The wind tore skin down to the bone
And left my heart a hole
Who turned the setting sun
Out to the desert burning sand
Because my race had run
The women that I knew back East
They laughed the day I left
They could not tame the savage beast
My mind it was bereft
Be free be free they said to me
Be free free as you will
Be free be free and you will be
Impossible to kill
Got off the train and walked through town
While tears fell from my eyes
But no one stopped to help me out
Guess that was no surprise
The hills rose up and up and up
Up to the mountain top
I had no place to spill my gut
But there I had to stop
The night was colder than I've known
The stars burned through my soul
The wind tore skin down to the bone
And left my heart a hole
