The Soul That Could Not Be Saved

from The Wanderer EP (7 Classic Country Songs) by Andrew Rodger

/

lyrics

If you asked well I could not say
Where my life went astray
I swept across the plains
Breaking hearts and robbing trains
Well I knew I would not grow old
But I once had a heart of gold
I once had a heart of gold
But now it burns like coal

Now it burns like coal
Now it burns like coal

I slept out under the stars
My horse and holster never far
Now I lie here alone and still
In a cemetery on Boot Hill
Well I knew I would not grow old
But I once had a heart of gold
I once had a heart of gold
But now it burns like coal

Now it burns like coal
Now it burns like coal

When it’s time to meet my maker
Take me down to the undertaker
Place a flower on the grave
For the soul that could not be saved
Place a flower on the grave
For the soul that could not be saved

This soul could not be saved
This soul could not be saved
This soul could not be saved
This soul could not be saved
