My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat. The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor. Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran, out where the horses were tied. Back in El Paso my life would be worthless. Everything's gone in life.
Nothing is left.
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden. My love is stronger than my fear of death. I saddle up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark. Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me. Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart.
