lyrics

I found myself in Colorado - in Pueblo where the wind does blow
Walking around with my brother - with nowhere else to go
We went out a’roaming - to see what we could see
All I found was a woman lonesome as could be
Lonesome as could be

We went to that old bar room - and drank that cold liquor down
Waylon, George and Willy - were singing that high and lonesome sound When a man walked in a’talkin’ and waving his pistol around
Saying don’t you tread on me brothers - I was lost but now I am found Was lost but now I’m found

The guns they were blazing - so I pitched out to the floor
Thats when I saw my love a’running - till that bullet it dropped her to the floor I stood shaking and swearing - I looked that man in the eye and said
You have killed my one true love - now sir its your time to die
Sir its your time to die

I grabbed a broken bottle - and turned to find that man
Was standing there before me - shaking with that pistol in his hand I knew my time was coming - so I thought of my dear old friends
And my home out on the lonesome prairie - how I’d meet my end

Till I felt his warm blood running - down upon my hand
That Pueblo man was a stumbling - he was shot by another man
Was shot by another man

about

Zachary Lucky Saskatchewan

Zachary Lucky is unapologetically old-school country, armed with a husky, baritone voice. He sings of Canadian places and people as knowingly as he might Townes Van Zandt or the Rio Grande. Hailed as a master storyteller by No Depression, Zachary is becoming a legend in his own right and has safely reserved his spot at the table of Canadian roots royalty. ... more

Love the purity of the sound- harkens back to the Carter Family, but sounds modern in its spareness as well. Beautiful. fishyfish85

I saw this man open for another relative unknown at Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines Iowa a few years ago and was immediately hooked! He opened for Anderson East. I did love em both but this guy needs more recognition! Michael Streeter

Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer. Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself. Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night. Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765
