How Alonzo Van Oden Became a Legend in Texas
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Born in Tilden, where the dust kicks high,
My cradle was the prairie, 'neath a wild Texas sky.
My father, Aaron Oden, died with a gun in hand,
Mother Mary Jane just couldn’t stand.
At one year old, I was all alone,
But Joe Walker gave me a name and a home.
Taught me to shoot, to ride, to sing my own song,
Said, “You don’t live long out here if your will ain't strong.”

[Chorus] (HOOK included)
🎶 I’m Alonzo Van Oden, forged by fire and flame,
Texas wind in my boots, and pride in my name.
Badge on my chest, heart hard as steel,
When justice got wounded, I was born to heal. 🎶

[Verse 2]
Rode with Texas Rangers, trackin’ outlaws in the dark,
With John Hughes and St. Leon, we made our mark.
The Carrasco boys shot first, thought they’d get away,
But we sent 'em to the silence where the wild dogs lay.
Bass Outlaw fell with fire in his eyes,
John Selman followed, full of whiskey and lies.
The law’s a fine thread, easy to fray,
But I held it together the old cowboy way.

[Chorus]
🎶 I’m Alonzo Van Oden, forged by fire and flame,
Texas wind in my boots, and pride in my name.
Badge on my chest, heart hard as steel,
When justice got wounded, I was born to heal. 🎶

[Bridge]
Then I met her — Annie Laura Hay,
A widow with eyes like a slow sunrise on Judgment Day.
Laid down my badge, gave her my name,
In Marfa we dreamed, no longer playin’ the game.
She was the peace I never knew to need,
Planted love in my chest where I used to bleed.

[Final Chorus – Emotional shift]
🎶 I was Alonzo Van Oden, keeper of law and the night,
But in Annie’s eyes, I found a softer fight.
From desert winds to the ranch in the shade,
I wasn’t a saint — but a good man I was made. 🎶

[Outro]
Now I rest where the cactus stands tall,
My name still whispers in the prairie’s call.
If they ask who I was, let this line remain:
🎶 Alonzo Van Oden — born of dust, and carved by pain. 🎶
