The covered wagons have left their trail
Of candy wrappers, flashbulbs, and iron rails
I only know the name I only know the name
It's the pale guy with the forked tongue
And a bullet for a brain
...again
My TV series died, but I have seen
A phantom image that still haunts the screen
I only know the name I only know the name
It's riding in a spring wind over the open plain
...again
I only know the name
I never knew the game
If this is where my life runs out
at least I know the name
I only know the name I only know the name
It's riding in a spring wind over the open plain
We robbed the rich and gave the poor their share
Until our show was taken off the air
I only know the name I only know the name
It's the good guy with the black mask
A silver bullet in his brain
...again
My horse is lame and blind and bone-sore
We speak a language no one hears anymore
I only know the name I only know the name
It's a campfire in the morning
And the sunlight in your mane
...again
I only know the name I never knew the game
If this is where my life runs out
at least I know the name
I only know the name I only know the name
It's a campfire in the morning
And the sunlight in your mane
...again
I only know the name I only know the name
It's riding in a spring wind over the open plain
