Track Insight / Lyrics
[fingerpicked steel-
Every Friday night
Jukebox playing tunes to sprite
Talking heroes, legends and lore
Some swore they saw him kick down the door
Black hat low, steady hand
Last man standing when the dust lands
Legends never die, they ride forever
Tougher than a Texas stormy weather
Bad guys run, good folks pray
He shows up right on time each day
From barroom tales to front page lines
He keeps the peace on borrowed time
Legends never die
He stopped the fight with just one glance
Chuck Joes faints, cooks beware
Partners out there watching his six
Law books open, ready with the tricks
Ain't bragging, just telling truth
Legend right here, grow like roots
Legends never die, they ride forever
Through dust and wind and stormy weather
When the sirens fade, the story stays
He's still got riding through the days
From courthouse steps to Texas skies
Legends never die
Old man sways, it's true
Chuck picks with just one shoe
Mama said, "Boy, you best behave"
Even Trouble the dog gets on grave
Coffee stirred itself in his cup
Jukebox plays when he walks up
Some folks say he's just a man
Others swear he's more than that
When they roll in side by side
Even lightning knows when to step back
Legends never die, they ride forever
Through dust and wind and stormy, stormy weather
From a small town porch to those city lights
He never backed down from the fight
Tell your kids when they ask you why
Good still wins and wrongs still cries
Legends never die
Roundhouse kicked the tornado right
Chuck jumps higher than the moon at night
We still tell those stories out right
'Cause legends
Legends never die
