	Based on a true story from 1869, this song rocks hard. Strong rhythm section work underpins a compelling storyline and equally strong vocals. Slide guitar fans will dig the Weissenborn lap slide.

	Lyrics Jake and I were brothers who worked the railroad line That ran through McDade, Texas in 1869 Hard lives make hard men - we got by When we weren't gandy dancing, we used to chase our fun I liked a shot of whiskey, Jake liked his old shotgun Payday - we made way - into town [CHORUS] Trouble finds your back when it's furthest from your mind Trouble is the past that you thought was left behind Trouble takes what it will and then leaves you the bill Trouble The old Rock Front Saloon was the place we headed first With an appetite for trouble and an overpowering thirst Front door - dirt floor - look around There were hard-luck castoffs set adrift after the Civil War A few vaqueros and some evil-looking man I'd seen before You fire every shot you had in there and never hit an honest man [CHORUS] I never heard the shot ring out that killed me where I stood I was suddenly floating overhead and wondered if I would Ascend up into Heaven or tumble down to Hell When Jake shot the man who killed me and then kicked him as he fell They hung Jake two days later underneath the Hanging Tree And buried him beside the shallow grave they'd dug for me No flowers, no tears, no surprise Me? I never did move on to anything beyond I never did see Jake again, don't know where he's gone Hard men - lead hard lives - but just the same How I wish that someone would call my name [CHORUS] Jake and I were brothers who worked the railroad line That ran through McDade, Texas in 1869 © 2000 TexasMusicForge.com
