Two Old Sidewinders
Two Old Sidewinders: A Wild Ride of Outlaws and Redemption
Lyrics
You load the horses I'll pack the rigger
You take care of preparing the horses while I handle packing the equipment.
Let's tell 'em goodbye and walk out the door
Let's say our farewells and leave.
One drink and one kiss can lead to too many
A single drink and a kiss can lead to more than intended.
We ought to know cause we been there before
We have experience in facing the consequences of such situations.
Eight hours of ridin' will put us in Houston
Traveling for eight hours will get us to Houston.
Two hours of sleep to make it or bust
We'll only have two hours of sleep, risking exhaustion.
Eight seconds of glory you stay in the money
Eight seconds of success in the competition ensures monetary gain.
And five year old whiskey to wash down the dust
We resort to aged whiskey to ease our fatigue.
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
No challenge is too difficult for us, as we are determined climbers.
That's all we ever intended to be
We never aspired to be more than determined individuals.
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
Reiteration that challenges don't deter us.
Two old sidewinders like you and me
We are seasoned and experienced individuals, like old sidewinders.
Let's find us a place and a couple of ladies
Let's search for a place and companions.
Someone to lie to someone to trust
We seek someone to deceive and someone to trust.
Someone who's impressed by a couple of outlaws
We want someone who admires rebellious individuals like us.
Who's gold plated trophies have turned into rust
Our once-valued achievements have lost their significance.
Now we're damned near broke and we keep buyin' whiskey
Despite financial strain, we continue to purchase whiskey.
Do you think they might settle for a bottle of wine
Wondering if we can offer wine instead due to our financial situation.
Well those two over there right there by the jukebox
Observing individuals near the jukebox, comparing their situations.
Yours don't look back hoss but just look at mine
Commenting on the appearance or situation of their companions.
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers...
Reiteration that challenges are conquerable for individuals like them.
