Gods Favourite Songtext / Lyric

Hey, babe, I must be God's favourite

I'm riding all alone

Can't you bring light over me

Oh, I, I have a hunted soul, baby

And I can't let the devil go

Then I'd die on my own

Now it's been two days, and it's been so long

Since I saw you standing there with your gun

And I can nearly remember when you looked up to me

And said, "Jack, it's all over now"

I'm riding on my horse in a thirsty cell

What can I do when I don't even know

Which way I should go, well, honey the Desert Inn

Well, it's a mighty long way to go

God's favourite bandit

Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn

Dusty bones all around me now

I'm under the spell of the desert moon

And if I close my eyes now

I can see through your skin

Yeah, I saw a saloon in the pourin' rain

I drink a river now, but my river's run dry

What can I do

But die holding my hand

Well, it's a mighty long way to go

God's favourite bandit

Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn

Well, it's a mighty long way to go

God's favourite bandit

Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn

Oh, baby, I must be God's favourite

But the devil took my hand

And somebody else took my place

Oh, I, I had a hunted soul, baby

Fifteen years of gunfighting, baby

But now I can't shoot anymore

Hey, baby, won't you step outside

You can't take my god damn pride

Fifteen years I've pulled the trigger

But now I can't shoot anymore

Well, it's a mighty long way to go

God's favourite bandit

Well, it's a mighty long way to go to the Desert Inn

Well, it's a mighty long way to go

God's favourite bandit
