lyrics

I've been a lawman now for north of 40 years.
I've seen some things and done some things that bring grown men to tears.
Death is on my doorstep, he gets closer every day.
Before he catches me I swear I'll put you in your grave

It don't scare me.
I've been around.
You want to test me?
I'll cut you down!

Just like the film this ain't no country for old men.
Keep running from the law, you'll find a country for the dead.
don't care bout jurisdiction or crossin’ county lines
One way or the next you're gonna answer for your crimes

I don't like it
It's just a grind
Too old to change things
I bide my time

I beg the lord’s forgiveness, to show me toward the light
But to catch this killer outlaw, I might need the devil’s might

I do what I do so someone else won't have to.
Before I’m underground I’ll try my best to set things right

My wife don't even know me, I'm always on the road
Even when I'm off the clock, I spend my time alone

Don't quite know what to tell her, afraid of what I'll say
Drink all night and sleep a few, then back into the frey

When you look right through me, do you see a broken man?
A bottle and a shot glass, seem to be my only friends

Tell me I've not lost my way
I feel farther from God most every day
The miles fly by, and I want to cry (2nd time: die)
I don’t want to believe what this world has done to me

I feel empty
My soul is tired
I'll meet my maker
Eyes open wide

He was mean bastard
Called himself Ranchero Supreme
Even though he drove a Plymouth Duster
I can still see that green paint gleam!
