Travis and Jimmy

[Verse] Beneath the old oak, where the shadows turn gray, Laid Jimmy to rest, the outlaw they'd slay. With hands rough and trembling, I dug in the dirt, Saying goodbye, remembering the hurt. [Verse 2] His hat on his chest, his revolver by his side, A legend now gone, in the dirt he'll abide. The cries of the coyotes, they mourn from afar, For Jimmy the outlaw, who wore the lone star. [Chorus] Travis the gunslinger, with tears in his eyes, Buried his friend, under Tennessee skies. With the moon on his back, and the dawn out of sight, He saddled his horse and rode off into night. [Verse 3] The wind whispered secrets of battles long past, Of shootouts and standoffs, a friendship that'd last. In the glow of the campfire, our stories were told, But now I ride solo, in a world dark and cold. [Verse 4] The town was a memory, just dust and regret, Travis lit a cigarette, his heart heavy yet. The horses' hooves echoed, in the stillness it sung, A requiem for Jimmy, forever he'll be young. [Chorus] Travis the gunslinger, with tears in his eyes, Buried his friend, under Tennessee skies. With the moon on his back, and the dawn out of sight, He saddled his horse and rode off into night.
