Came down from the mountain this mornin’
Hung my coat on a Joshua Tree
The letter in my pocket’s got a whiskey stain
My bottle’s gonna set me free, lord
My bottle’s gonna set me free
Chorus I’ve traveled from sea to
sea
My conscience in front of me
I’ve traveled from sea to sea
Waiting to be set free, lord
Something gonna set me free
The town spreads its legs before me
Just behind that tumbleweed
Time is waitin’ in the middle of the road
It’s pistol’s gonna set me free, lord
It’s pistol’s gonna set me free
Chorus
It’s been 14 years of running
Not from a sheriff or a deputy
I fell in love with my brother’s wife
Her faith is gonna set me free, lord
Her faith gonna set me free
Chorus
Got a telegram just yesterday
She said come on home to me
Your brother he is dead & gone…STOP
Her kiss is gonna set me free, lord
Her kiss is gonna set me free
Chorus
