Ride into the dust and outlaw fire with “Faster Than a Reaper’s Grace”, an original western-folk ballad that tells the story of a ghost rider who can outrun death itself.

Faster Than a Reaper's Grace
Jake Rivers

Verse 1
The dust was cold when I rode through town
Shadows whispered low tryin’ to pull me down
My gun was warm from the last man’s plea
But mercy’s a ghost that don’t ride with me

Verse 2
They called me Billy, but the boy’s long gone
Buried in the fire of the life I’ve drawn
I sleep with danger like a trusted friend
’Cause death rides close but never finds the end

Chorus
I’m the ghost of Lincoln County, wild and free
A shadow in the desert no eyes can see
If the devil wants my soul, he’ll have to chase
’Cause I ride faster than a reaper’s grace

Verse 3
They say my legend lives where the bullets fall
Written in blood on a sunburnt wall
But the truth is simpler: I just won’t die
A curse or a blessing, only God knows why

Chorus
I’m the ghost of Lincoln County, wild and free
A shadow in the desert no eyes can see
If the devil wants my soul, he’ll have to chase
’Cause I ride faster than a reaper’s grace

Outro
So if you hear boots on the midnight stone
Know the Kid walks where the lost souls roam
A whisper of gun smoke drifts in the air
And Billy still rides ’cause he ain’t nowhere near there
