They gave us six months
It broke my young heart
I started to question
If we should just part

Our lives found the answer
Half a century ago
I will love you forever
This I know

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
