Lyrics: The Night Billie Hart Rode In

Rain on the windows Boots on the floorboards Silver Creek held its breath that night Dust rolled in like a thunderstorm Black hat cut through the evening warm Boots hit dirt and the whole damn town Went dead silent when she came around Had a pistol low on her right-hand side Pain she never could quite hide I poured whiskey, she raised her eyes And Lord… that’s when I realized Some women kiss you sweet and slow Some women leave before you know But that girl walked in like wildfire smoke And burned straight through my soul The night Billie Hart rode in Hell finally found Silver Creek She wore danger like skin And made a fool outta me One hand on a whiskey glass One hand ready to draw Yeah I shoulda known right then I was gonna lose it all Now every sunset hits my heart Like hoofbeats in the dark I didn’t fall in love with a woman I fell in love with Sheriff Hart Mayor laughed right in her face Said lawmen oughta know their place She just smirked and tipped her brim Like she’d already buried men like him Then Sunday came with gunsmoke rain Three outlaws ridin’ in insane They touched me once — she cleared leather fast And dropped their weapons in shattered glass Some women pray and some survive Some just keep the flame alive But Billie walked through those saloon doors Like judgment dressed in black The night Billie Hart rode in Fear finally left this town She kissed me hard in a rented room While the rain came pouring down Now she wears that silver star But she still steals mine And every time she says my name Lord it sounds like homemade wine Yeah the whole town calls her sheriff now But she’ll always own my heart I didn’t fall in love with a woman I fell in love with Billie Hart Late at night when the lantern burns low She holds me close like she’s scared to let go Outlaws, whiskey, blood, and dust Funny how love survives all of us She came to town with nothing but scars Now Silver Creek sleeps beneath the stars And every prayer this old town sends Starts with her name in the wind The night Billie Hart rode in The whole damn world changed for me She brought justice to this broken town And somehow brought peace to me Still wears danger like skin Still keeps that fire in her eyes But every night beside my heart That wild girl finally rests awhile Now every lantern down Main Street burns Like the heavens lit a spark I didn’t fall in love with a woman I fell in love with Billie Hart Silver Creek still talks about The sheriff dressed in black Me? I still remember The night Billie Hart rode in.
