Story Behind the Song
In the back of my mind, I was thinking of "The Man with No Name" from the spaghetti westerns, and it just fit perfectly for the song.
Lyrics
Never been beatable, stayed true to the game,
Through the desert with a horse with no name,
Enter every city, no worth or cause,
Everybody's on the street when they stop and pause,
It's the dust in the wind, as the world stops to spin,
In a new life, know where to begin,
Is it a cardinal sin, or will the sun go dim,
Or wipe the rain from the brim,
Of my backwards hat, no way I'm goin' back,
Comin' from the tail end of the pack, now can you top that,
My mind still holds a lot, and my back is in all of a knot,
How much more of your life do you got,
Stay in place, 'cause I'm takin' your spot,
And find out that your life's gonna rot,
All alone in the melting pot, and I just can't stop.
(Chorus 4x)
Everywhere that I go (Everywhere that I go)
I will be the one and only desperado.
At 5:15, it's time to rob the train,
The only thing that's keepin' me sane,
The loneliness begins all the pain,
But there's a lot more to explain, time to break the chain,
Tied up at my ankles and wrists,
'Cause my mind's gonna flip, and I came equipped,
I don't have to quit to be legit,
Yet I still deal with this s---, it's makin' me sick,
When my life is a free-for-all,
I still got the bigger balls, and you fall,
No energy to even crawl,
While I'm on your back, and it feels like an anvil,
I'm alone, can you feel my stress,
It's been so long, that you're depressed,
And it's somethin' that's on my chest,
But it always stay here, 'til I lay to rest,
(Chorus and ad lib out)
