He never had a chance,he didn't even see them

But he had lost the very thing that he had gone in search of ,..

His freedom...

Well,it was two long years fore he could make his break away

From that chain gang up Comanchie way

And now,..still being chased high and low

By Sheriff Dan Blaine,...of Waco

Yeah,ever since he dug up his illegal proceeds

He has been hounded for his unlawfull deeds

Well Dan ,..says Hayden,.. im now drawing a line

This is where it ends, come rain or come shine

Ive twentyfive thousand reasons to live

Or to die.......

So take heed Sheriff Dan....

Cause either way, ill be saying... goodbye.

Just then from behind him, he hears a sound

And with blinding speed ,he spins around

Colt, drawn levelled and cocked...

Before that coffee cup hits the ground.

The girl staggers back in fright, with a jolt

At the speed, and the menace of that forty five colt

Hayden looks to the heavens with a sigh

As he spins the gun and drops it back to his side...

This was the girl he had saved last night

In that two bit town just up the trail a mite

She had been set upon by cowpokes

Just out back of the Silver Spokes...

Well, he sure set there grins,.. at a different angle

With a few well aimed thumps of a pickaxe handle

Then he hoisted her up on his big old steed

And they took off up main street with a good turn of speed

He had planned on dropping her

On the other side of town

But she had other ideas and was

Reluctant to step down....

He did stop, some time later, to light a fire

He was hungry, and he knew old blue was beginning to tire

And he needed that horse fresh,and full of running

For whatever the morning would be bringing

Now Hayden hadent really seen the girl properly last night

In all the commotion, and the poor light

But now, as she stood before him

Tall, dark haired and slim

There was no denying her beauty

Despite the bruising on her chin

And the dress torn and dirty...

That she clutched about her olive skin.

From his saddlebags he took a shirt

For this damsel in distress

Which she accepted with a little nod

And a muchas gracias

She said her name was Consuelo

On the run from a cruel esposo...

Now Hayden didn't understand,all that she said

But he got most of it, and nodded his head

While trying hard, not to drown...

In those big brown eyes.
