Well,
I can't stop staring at the pallet below
I'd like to see her, but
I'm afraid to go
Old
Sheriff
Grayson said he'd shoot me down
Jury said
I'm a guilty man kicked out of town
I left my home a dreamer,
trying to find a better way
A foreign man in a foreign land, thought
I'd come to stay
I met
Cindy on the second day,
though she didn't ask my name
And I felt for
Cindy just the same
I took a job at a corner shop,
worked hard and paid my tax
I'd smile when I saw
Cindy, sometimes she'd smile back
She came into the store one day
with bruises on her face
She said it was her boyfriend
Billy
Ray
She said he's waiting in the car
Don't act on him like you know
Billy saw us talking about him
And he walked in through the door
Well soon as she cried out in fear
And I knew
I'd take my stand
Put a baseball bat across
his back and ran
Well, I can't stop starin'
at the valley below
I'd like to see her, but
I'm afraid to go
Old
Sheriff
Grayson said he'd shoot me down
The jury said
I'm a guilty man kicked out of town
Sheriff
Grayson arrested me later on that night
I gave up no resistance, I knew that
I'd done right
When I saw the corporate bag,
Billy's family and his friends I knew
I'd see
Cindy never again
Well, if he stops staring
at the valley below
I'd like to see her, but
I'm afraid to go
Old
Sheriff
Grayson said he'd shoot me down
Jury said
I'm a guilty man, kicked out of town
Jury said
I'm a guilty man, kicked out of town
you
