November 1999, cleaning out cars all night deep in the potash mine John says he heard about a guy, some easy money, get the salt out of our eyes Well John I'll try Anything twice Leave this hole behind John said we'd meet up in the dark, the caretaker lives alone out in the RV park He's got some money in a box, underneath the bed, he's heard, like 30 thousand bucks Just wave the rifle in the air, we'll wear our balaclavas, just give him a scare One friday night Bundled up tight We'll do it right We snuck up and John kicked in the door, startled the old man for a second, maybe more He produced a loaded 45, colt single action that was sleeping by his side And then a blur I swear I heard 2 shots for sure God bless Our Lady of the Fields, god bless the summer rains to boost the harvest yields And god bless the man we robbed that night, and that heavy single action pistol by his side We dug a hole deep in the earth, a few measly dollars was all that old man's life was worth And then we ran Alberta bound Haunted by that sound We parted ways on down the road, the law caught up with John in Maple Creek, I'm told As for his partner, no one knows. Twenty years later living some new life they s'pose But I'm just back here underground, twenty years of guilt weigh down the wrinkles on my brow Another man's life Kids and a wife Never felt quite right
