Ballad of Nunez

from Mann Gulch Fire by Levi Barrett

/

lyrics

Sacrifice, that's fine
But you've made yours and I've made mine
Rewarded by the choice to walk away this time

Hooves are halting hearts
Horns are piercing precious parts
and I have been so broken by these beasts we ride

Every time I ride could be the last
I worry like I should have in the past
The stakes are higher and my old desire is gone
I'm staying on the ground where I belong

Gone are all the days
When all that pride and all that praise
would help to justify getting on

This dance with death is done
You go on but I for one
will flee this damned arena
While I've legs to run

Every time I ride could be the last
I worry like I should have in the past
The stakes are higher and my old desire is gone
I'm staying on the ground where I belong
