Just got through my last round of night sweats

Pulled the rug

Pissed you off again

Is it mine?

Big iron been heavy on me
Buried one by the cottonwood trees

I took on off the other one's steed
Well, won't find me losing the lead

Bullseye on the back of my head
Back home they're thinking I'm dead
E
I'm wishing that I was instead
Well, still not as bad as it gets

C#m
Followed a mirage to a dried-up stream
When I heard it like a voice from the sand and the wind
E
You ought to wake up or get lost to the noise
Ride on, sunrise in the east
C#m
With the whole world laying right at your feet
It's coming into focus, it's coming into focus
E
Coming into focus, coming into focus
