A bullet and my name

I'm coming round the mountain
i'm burning round the tracks
i'm running on diesel gasoline and i ain't coming back
i don't want no advice  
i've heard it before
i think its all the same
the only thing i own in life is a bullet and my name
 
well i went and got this idea
and then i stole a gun
i got me some bad friends
and now i'm on the run
we robbed this bank in Tennessee
that's where i shot a man  
and now they've got my picture everywhere i think they can
 
I'm coming round the mountain
i'm burning round the tracks
i'm running on diesel gasoline and i ain't coming back
i don't want no advice  
i've heard it before
i think its all the same
the only thing i own in life is a bullet and my name
 
we're blazing trails of money
our tire tracks in blood
we're living for today
because i think we should
with whiskey in our blood streams
and violence in our dreams
this life of an outlaw ain't all i think it seems
 
I'm coming round the mountain
i'm burning round the tracks
i'm running on diesel gasoline and i ain't coming back
i don't want no advice  
i've heard it before
i think its all the same
the only thing i own in life is a bullet and my name
 
they caught me down in Knoxville  
and now that's where i lay
they shot me in cold blood
just like i did that day
if i've learned one think from this story called life
is that's it's full of nothing but turmoil and strife
 
I'm coming round the mountain
i'm burning round the tracks
i'm running on diesel gasoline and i ain't coming back
i don't want no advice  
i've heard it before
i think its all the same
the only thing i own in life is a bullet and my name

A song i'd written about 8 years back but had never gotten it down in writing until now.
