Well, I came up from Missouri twenty years ago
Just me and my pack horse and the ghost of Charlie Rhodes
Charlie was my brother, yes Charlie was my twin
And I never knew another half as fine as him
Well, he was set to marry a girl he met back east
And though I loved my brother I could not leave her be.
One night she came to me when Charlie wasn't home,
The sweetest wine of darkness turns bitter in the dawn.
Now I'm runnin' from a man,
He's not made of flesh and bone
And he follows me around like my shadow
Like my shadow.
I wish't I'd kept a secret, yeah I wish that I had lied,
But I had to tell my brother the truth I hid inside.
Well, Charlie, he came at me with a shovel in his hand.
I hit him with a hatchet 'til he fell dead in the sand.
Now I'm runnin' from a man
He's not made of flesh and bone
And he follows me around like my shadow,
Like my shadow.
He chased me 'cross the mountains, he drove me to the sea.
And I guess I'm doomed to wander, but I never will be free.
Now every day I see him, he comes to me each night.
I can see him staring at me from the shadows in my mind.
Now I'm runnin' from a man
He's not made of flesh and bone
And he follows me around like my shadow
Like my shadow, yeah
Like my shadow.
Oh yeeeeeeeeeaaaahh!
