[Verse]
Dust on the boots in the heat of the night
Eyes like a flame burnin' out of sight
Whiskey breath hums an outlaw prayer
He's here but gone like he was never there

[Chorus]
A man with a past walkin' too fast
Truth in the shadows a tale built to last
A man with a past future unsure
But his secret's a legend that'll always endure

[Verse 2]
Rust on the badge from a time he betrayed
Chasin' ghosts in the choices he made
Barbed wire fences cut the open plains
But freedom calls louder than his chains

[Prechorus]
He ain't runnin' no he's just movin'
The earth keeps turnin' while he's still provin'

[Chorus]
A man with a past walkin' too fast
Truth in the shadows a tale built to last
A man with a past future unsure
But his secret's a legend that'll always endure

[Bridge]
The train screams distant a lone wolf's cry
The stars don't answer they just burn the sky
A riddle unsolved a name scratched in stone
Forever a drifter never a home
