Tribute to Tribute: Song lyrics

So there we were, riding our horses
Past the train tracks, riding bareback
With the sun on my neck and the sweat in my eyes
On the distant horizon my destiny lies

We're only halfway there counting our dimes
My nine double m is right by my side
And I fire a warning shot into the sky
To tell all the land that we're passing by

Oh why am I here to greet my demise
Where the rain doesn't fall and the dust fills the sky?
I'll stare the rising sun straight in the eyes
Drawn at the dawn, to live or to die?

Now down in New Mexico, Hangin' 'em high
Old 7's my man, I drank whiskey like wine
With a stranger I met who told tales from LA
He stole my heart and was gone the next day

We been hot on his tail for the last couple days
Them buzzards are preyin', fortellin' his fate
Now I kicked in the bar door with the gun in my hand
If only you'd stayed you fool of a man

Oh c'mon now girl, let's settle things right
We'll walk ten paces in the dead of the night
But his bullet hit the barrel and mine veered to the side
We called it a draw, now lets take this inside.

Oh c'mon Clint Eastwood lets get down tonight
We'll spit out our quarrel and swallow our pride
But Kate Barlow did say, guess them buzzards were right
So I kissed him with poison and left him to die
