Sodbuster Lyrics

You better watch out when you go into this town

Especially when there's cowboys around

Too much drink, too many guns

Makes it a dangerous place when the sun goes down

Somebody told me a story long ago

About a man that couldn't take it anymore

He told those rowdies stay off my ranch

And he wasn't giving them a second chance

Hey Sodbuster what will you do

That hoe and shovel won't be any help to you

These desperados ain't gonna move along

I hope you've got something in 'ya

Yeah, to prove me wrong

One day while he was gone to get supplies

Some cowboys thought they'd leave him a surprise

They burned his place down to the ground

While trashing everything around

Later on returning to his home

He knew he'd have to go it all alone

No one in town would call him friend

So he set out plotting his revenge

Hey Sodbuster what will you do

That hoe and shovel won't be any help to you

These desperados ain't gonna move along

I hope you've got something in 'ya

Yeah, to prove me wrong

In a saloon out on the edge of town

They were making plans to bring the big man down

They were feeling ready to call his bluff

And that's when he said I've finally had enough

Six shots fired and six men lay there dying

In a hail of lead he left six men there crying

Who is that man?, where is he from

Now that our judgement day has come

Hey Sodbuster what will you do

That hoe and shovel won't be any help to you

These desperados ain't gonna move along

I hope you've got something in 'ya

Yeah, to prove me wrong
