Lyrics

Rustler's Moon

There was a sliver, just a slice
Of a waning moon
Way out on the west prairie
It was a dark so thick
You could eat it with a spoon
What the cowboys call a rustler’s moon

Creeping through the dark
One step at a time
A thief whose life is on the line
What fears and thoughts lurk in the mind
Of a rustler watching for some cloudy sign

CHORUS:
Rustler’s moon, cold and blue
Oooh, oooh, rustlers moon
Can’t find the way and I can’t be found
Beneath the gaze of a rustler’s moon

Oh, to keep from cryin’ is a dreadful fight
Standing alone in the night
The dark seeps in, that old moon is mean
Just light enough to see but not be seen

CHORUS

Oh, I may be bad and I may be good
I might not live life as I should
But the words I heard
Under night’s dark hood
Cut me like no rustler’s knife ever could

CHORUS
