作词 : Lindeman, Nelson, Stutz

Well  he rode into blue rock  dusty an' tired

An' got him a room for the night

He lay there in silence with too much on his mind

Still hopin' that he was not right

But he found them that evenin' at a tavern in town

In a quiet little out of the way place

An' they smiled at each other
When he walked through the door

An' they died with their smiles on their faces

They died with their smile on their face

Don't boss him  don't cross him

He's wild in his sorrow:

He's ridin' an' hidin' his pain

Don't fight him  don't spite him;
Just wait till tomorrow

Maybe he'll ride on again
