Intro
Chain of Sin these empty buildings
Had a name the Devil knew
He let it ride in his black ledger
And let it burn, when the debt was due
1st Verse
Now we came down thru Red Rock Canyon
Where this town burned long ago
Came to strike the Devil's bargain
And make our run for Mexico.......
Chorus
Chain of Sin's, gonna bind us, this time round we'll get away
Don't look back keep on runnin', we might live another day
Chain of Sin, we wanted Heaven, but there's Hell to paid
Don't you cry my little darlin', we might see a better day........
See a better day...........
2nd Verse
Stolen goods and double dealin'
The pick up man just fired away
I shot him dead, but I'll soon join him
So take his cash and make your play
Chorus
Bridge
Oh, my Lord......you were a sweet thing
It's your soul I took away
You can't go home, can't go to Heaven
I'll catch up with you someday.............
