Backyard Babies


Hey, babe, I must be God's favourite 
I'm riding all alone 
Can't you bring light over me 
Oh, I, I have a hunted soul, baby 
And I can't let the devil go 
Then I'd die on my own 
Now it's been two days, and it's been so long 
Since I saw you standing there with your gun 
And I can nearly remember when you looked up to me 
And said, "Jack, it's all over now" 
I'm riding on my horse in a thirsty cell 
What can I do when I don't even know 
Which way I should go, well, honey the Desert Inn 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go 
God's favourite bandit 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn 
Dusty bones all around me now 
I'm under the spell of the desert moon 
And if I close my eyes now 
I can see through your skin 
Yeah, I saw a saloon in the pourin' rain 
I drink a river now, but my river's run dry 
What can I do 
But die holding my hand 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go 
God's favourite bandit 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go 
God's favourite bandit 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn 
Oh, baby, I must be God's favourite 
But the devil took my hand 
And somebody else took my place 
Oh, I, I had a hunted soul, baby 
Fifteen years of gunfighting, baby 
But now I can't shoot anymore 
Hey, baby, won't you step outside 
You can't take my god damn pride 
Fifteen years I've pulled the trigger 
But now I can't shoot anymore 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go 
God's favourite bandit 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go 
God's favourite bandit 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go 
God's favourite bandit 
Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn
