Gone 
© 2014, Stolen Rhodes 

Jack and Tyke are quick with a knife 
Saddle up in the dead of night 
Slingshot Eddie and Holy Bill 
Two blood brothers with a man to kill 

Thirty miles outside of Omaha 
A young man was hustling pool in a roadside bar 
The door blew open and the barflies ran away 
When the Four Padres rolled up on a young man's judgement day 

Everybody was gone, gone, they ain't coming back 
Gone, gone and baby, that's a fact 
Gone, gone in the blink of an eye 
They're gone, gone, bye bye 

"So you turned your back and you think you're gonna hide? 
Don't need the law, 'cause I got iron on my side." 
Slingshot Eddie pulled his chrome .45 
And said "there's no soul here who could ever save your life!" 

The young man took off running when Eddie shot out the light 
Ducked out the side door and out into the night 
He could go left and he could go right, but he swore he wasn't going down 
And asked the heavy hand for mercy, and he hauled ass out of town 

And now he's gone, gone, he ain't coming back 
Gone, gone and baby, that's a fact 
Gone, gone in the blink of an eye 
Gone, gone, bye bye 
There's blood upon the mesa, there's bones strewn on the plain 
There's a grave out in the desert and a ghostly widow's pain 
Revelation has four horsemen to bring about the end of days 
But the living world will run from the Four Padres 

He reached the state line by the time his tank was dry 
Pushed his bike in the ravine under cover of a coal black sky 
When the dust had almost settled, in the distance he could see 
Four headlights approaching… 

And now he's gone, gone, he ain't coming back 
Gone, gone and baby, that's a fact 
Gone, gone in the blink of an eye 
Revelation has four horsemen to bring about the end of days 
So don't you dare double-cross the Four Padres!
