Riders of the Purple Sage
Words and music by Bob Menzies

We run the field in Bakersfield, jump in through the open door
Dressed in calico to New Mexico on a dirty dusty floor
Past the state line we get hard to find we know we made a score
This train ride is a private line we don’t need no more

We’re the Riders of the Purple Sage
We’re the Rustlers of Pecos County
We’re the Spirit of the Border, we are the New Order
And we’re here to the Very Last Man
You can try to catch me if you can
Chase me through this dusty land
I’m listening to the call of the Canyon
And we’ll be here to the Very Last Man

Jumping off is swell hear the Mission bell half of a good night’s sleep
Gets you to the sermon, beans are burning thinkin we earned our keep
Now we’re rolling on down to El Paso town we getting in here pretty deep
The border agents are locking up everyone that they see

We’re the Riders of the Purple Sage
We’re the Rustlers of Pecos County
We’re the Spirit of the Border, We’re the New Order
And we’re here to the Very Last Man

You can try to catch me if you can
Chase me through this dusty land
I’m listening to the call of the Canyon
We’ll be here to the Very Last Man

Rubber hits the road in Mobile we’re told it’s Alabama after all
You’re hair is too long you’re singin a song you know you’re in for a fall
A long hard night in a cell too tight now here comes the morning judge
We’re runnin real fast we’re not meant to last, the Macon highway’s for us

We’re the Riders of the Purple Sage
We’re the Rustlers of Pecos County
We’re the Spirit of the Border, We’re the New Order
And we’re here to the Very Last Man

You can try to catch me if you can
You can chase me through this dusty land
I’m listening to the call of the Canyon
We’ll be here …to the Very Last Man

I’m listening to the call of the Canyon
We’ll be here …to the very last, the Very Last Man

Na Na Na Na Na; Na Na Na Na Na Na; Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na; Na Na Na Na Na Na; Na Na Na Na Na …Na
