Julie by Complete Strangers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I sold my pistol for a dime, and a couple of friends
Now my dime is in a wishing well and all of my friends are dead
Guess I'll be washing away my sins in the rain again
'Cause I've been dancing with the devil on a road that has no end

[Verse 2]
I sorted through all the letters I wrote to myself
But the ink is smeared in teardrops that I left for someone else
I must be a fool sunk in ashes, I can't bear to ask for help
But still I take what I can get and then I trade it in for something else

[Chorus]
And this horse I ride can only run so far
And these tired cries, they're tearing me apart
But I just keep riding on, and I don't know why
This horse will carry me, until I die

[Verse 3]
Gambled all of my luck away today
After she poured her soul out like a bird with broken wings
I said "I swear to you mama, I'd kill just to hear you sing"
And now she's dancing all alone in the dark, to a silent beat
[Chorus]
And this horse I ride can only run so far
And these tired cries, they're tearing me apart
But I just keep riding on, and I don't know why
This horse will carry me, until I die

[Vocal Interlude]

[Chorus with Variation]
This horse I ride can only run so far
And these tired cries, they're tearing me apart
But I just keep riding on, and I don't know why
This horse will carry me, until I die
Until I die
Until I die
This horse will carry me, until I die
This horse will carry me, until I die
