Six Shells (The Outlaw’s Anthem)

[Verse 1]
Give me a damn good reason
Why I should stay calm through the storm
As six shells lay at my feet
He had it coming
Yeah he knew that he was wrong
Now he lies on the dirt in defeat

[Chorus]
Death on the wind, his blood waters the earth
Vultures circle 'round
Sent to the fall and calls for its worth
The scavengers swoop down
Death on the wind, his blood waters the earth
Vultures circle 'round
Sent to the fall and calls for its worth
The scavengers swoop down

[Verse 2]
Yeah I set out from Oklahoma
And I headed down El Paso way
To find a way to cross the border
I knew they'd be coming
It wouldn't be long 'til they caught my trail
With a Dead or Alive bounty order

[Chorus]
Death on the wind, his blood waters the earth
Vultures circle 'round
Sent to the fall and calls for its worth
The scavengers swoop down
Death on the wind, his blood waters the earth
Vultures circle 'round
Sent to the fall and calls for its worth
The scavengers swoop down

[Verse 3]
Yeah I've never been wise
But I've never stolen
And I've never killed a man in cold blood, before
But he took the life
Of the one that I love most of all
Now I'm an outlaw
A man on the run

[Chorus]
Death on the wind, his blood waters the earth
Vultures circle 'round
Sent to the fall and calls for its worth
The scavengers swoop down
Death on the wind, his blood waters the earth
Vultures circle 'round
Sent to the fall and calls for its worth
The scavengers swoop down
