San Quentin - Nickelback

North of the border of Old Mexico I rode one day to the cowtown of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a warm wind was blowing Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss Cheeks that put blushing red roses to shame Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, Secora was my lover's name I met her down in Laredo Everyone there in this border town called her 'the Rose' Mexican cowboys drank to Secora Everyone loved her but I was the one that she chose An outlaw above all the rest Now my heart beats so madly Soon she will be at my side She sent a message a long time ago Secora had promised to meet me at San Angelo I was aware of the chance I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for this girl I must be with her, I can't stay away Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the days If it means death, then I'll have to chance it Only a few moments more and she'll be in my arms At ten o' clock in the morning I tied my horse and I started to walk down the street Where was Secora, had she forgotten? This was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet But something is wrong with our plans And I fear death awaits me Here on this hot dusty street Up on a housetop but still I can see There hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me I might escape from the man with a rifle But there are others just like him that I cannot see Back of each window, the click of a gun Die if I stay and my love for her won't let me run Where is Secora, will my eyes see her? Then in a moment she runs from a door down the street "Up on your horse", she is crying "Ride out of town, it's a trap and they're waiting for you" But if I ride out, she must ride with me Then in a moment I know that our chances are gone For a bullet is well on its way And it finds my Secora She dies as she falls in my arms Tears dim my vision but plainly I see The ranger that killed her is standing there waiting for me I walk to meet him, my one thought is 'Beat him' He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will die I beat his draw and I shot him Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly My gun is empty or more I would shoot him Now there are others just like him that want me to die Their bullets are coming my way How they hurt when they hit me The pain makes me fall to the ground Gone is my strength, just the will left to fight I hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of life If I must die, let me find Secora Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments left Blindly I search and it isn't in vain I touch the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain Life is no more but we're together Even in death she's my lover, it's over, goodbye

Maybe it's ok it's fine But you're going to try to pretend You're not losing your mind You'll break coz you won't let it bend And you failed your mission again When you can't get what you want You search through the night Shadows on the road Remind you of a different time You're chasing that faded light I love to hear your lies When you tell me we'll be friends I can see it in your eyes I'll never see you again A broken heart is never the same Although you can try to pretend All that sadness will run through your veins Maybe we should just be friends There's heartache around the bend Loving isn't a crime You sneak around like a fool You did the same last time You'll break coz you won't let it bend You failed your mission again

Weightlessness, no gravity Were we somewhere in-between? I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me A bird's eye view of San Luis Oh, highway boys all sleeping in With their dirty mouths and broken strings Oh, their eyes are shining like the sea For you, the queen of San Luis I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me A bird's eye view of San Luis Cutting through the avenues I'd always find my way to you Beside the hook, the hammer lies Fumbling round in the smoke Spending time chasing ghosts Hold me down, hold me down, child Hold me down, hold me down, child California called you queen With your golden hair and magazine Were you somewhere in-between? Fast asleep, a flying dream I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me A bird's eye view of San Luis I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me A bird's eye view of San Luis I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me A bird's eye view of San Luis I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me A bird's eye view of San Luis
