He'll be comin' down the road at the break of day br His head thrown back and his guns tied low br He's comin' after Jinny wants to take her away but I ain't gonna let her go br br Oh he boasted in town but she loved him he said she'd be his with the sun br He said anyone try to stop him would be just one more notch on his gun br They say that he's headstrong and handsome his hair's blowin' wild and free br And they got a hold I ain't comin' cause he's a lot younger than me br And he'll be comin' down the road... br br He hasn't had much education he ain't worked a day in his life br He's livin' with some older woman they say she's another man's wife br But she wants him needs him and loves him she buys him his clothes and his meals br When she finds he's gone she'll be prayin' and Lord I know just how she feels br Because he's comin' down the road...
