Destiny,
there's no escape for any man
From the very day you're
born your destiny is planned
Des tiny
A man drove into town one day all
dressed in somber black
Three tombstones in his buckboard
and a shovel in his pack
He drove straight to the graveyard
and there he dug three holes
The headstones bore a message
to three departed souls
Destiny
"What happened?" said a passerby
The man said, "Nothing yet
But three of us are going to
die before the sun has set
One grave is for my woman,
who loved unfaithfully
The second's for her lover,
and the other one's for me"
Destiny, there's no es
cape for any man
From the very day you're
born your destiny is planned
Destiny
The man put down his shovel
and buckled on his guns
And later in the doorway he
faced the fated ones
But in the eyes he hated,
the ter ror that he saw
Filled his heart with pity,
and he knew he couldn't draw
Destiny
Then a gang of desperados
descended on the town
And in the fight that followed,
the three of them went down
As the gunman lay there dy in',
his last words were said to be
"Nothin' could have saved
us, this was our destiny"
Destiny, there's no es
cape for any man
From the very day you're born, your
destiny is planned
Destiny
