Doolin Dalton lyrics

G. Frey, J. Browne, D. Henley, J.D. Souther)

They were doolin, doolin-dalton
High or low, it was the same
Easy money, and faithless women
Red eye whiskey for the pain.

Go down little dalton, it must be God`s will
Two brothers lyin dead in Coffeeville.
Two voices call to you from where they stood,
`Lay down your lawbooks now, they`re no damn good.`

Better keep on movin, doolin-dalton
Till your shadow sets you free.
And if you`re fast, and if you`re lucky,
You will never see that hangin tree.

Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin for the names
And a man could use his back or use his brains
But some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin ever changed

Till they`re doolin Neville Dalton
He was workin cheap, just buyin time
And then he laughed and said I`m goin
And so he left that peaceful life behind
