Whatever happened to Randolph Scott  
Ridin’ the trail alone  
Whatever happened to Gene and Tex  
And Roy and Rex, the Durango kid

All my ex’s live in Texas,  
And Texas is a place I’d dearly love to be.  
But all my ex’s live in Texas  
And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

Well, here’s a poke at you  
You’re gonna choke on it too  
You’re gonna lose that smile  
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles  
Oh yeah

In the window candles glowing  
Remind you that today you are a child,  
The road ahead, forever rolling,  
And anything worth cryin’ can be smiled.

So ride, ride ‘em Jewboy,  
Ride ‘em all around the old corral.  
I’m, I’m with you boy  
If I’ve got to ride six million miles.

Can you believe  
God makes you breathe?  
Why did he lose  
Six million Jews?

I believe above a storm the smallest prayer  
Can still be heard  
I believe that someone in the great somewhere  
Hears every word

In the name of Satan, the ruler of Earth  
Open wide the gates of Hell  
And come forth from the abyss  
By these names: Satan, Leviathan, Belial, Lucifer  
I will kiss the goat

I wish I had an angel  
For one moment of love  
I wish I had your angel  
Your Virgin Mary undone  
I`m in love with my lust  
Burning angel wings to dust  
I wish I had your angel tonight

Too many angels near the ground, buzzin’ ‘round like lovely killer bees  
Little knick knack cherubs, busy bodies always puttin’ on the squeeze  
All those shrill celestial voices and a million phony holy wills to please  
Our vain and pointless genuflections block the heart’s connection to our knees

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices  
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn  
Fall on your knees  
O hear the angels’ voices  
O night divine  
O night when Christ was born  
O night divine, O night  
O night divine

Now the die is cast, the first step taken  
A glimmer of hope lights up our lives  
Visions of the past, dreams forsaken  
Forming right before our eyes, we’re alive

Through their pain we’ll learn to live  
Remember all life has to give
