From Dust to Legend: Brack Cornett's Wild Ride!
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Down in Goliad County, where the dust don’t sleep,
A boy named Brack, soul carved from canyon’s keep.
Born to the wild, shaped by the sand,
He rode with the devil, a gun in his hand.

[Verse 2]
He joined up with Whitley in ’87’s spring,
Chasin’ the gold of an outlaw king.
First job went sour, no coin to claim,
But McNeill Junction roared and carved their name.

[Chorus]
They called him Captain Dick, a ghost on the wind,
Train tracks and dynamite, he’d ride again.
Heart full of fire, with blood on his trail,
No law could cage Brack Cornett’s tale.

[Verse 3]
From Cisco to Schulenburg, they sparked the fuse,
Steel rails and pistols, with nothin’ to lose.
Twenty-five thousand, then twenty more,
He roared like thunder, cravin’ one score more.

[Bridge]
But ride too hard, and the reaper rides near,
The law’s long shadow finally drew clear.
In a trap near Harwood, the bullets screamed out,
Yet Brack broke free through the lead and the doubt.

[Verse 4 – New Stanza]
Through moonless canyons, he fled like a wraith,
Hounded by posses, no haven, no faith.
A woman named Clara, once loved in his youth,
Hid him one night, but she swore on the truth.

[Verse 5]
Down in Frio, he knocked on a door,
A friend from his boyhood he’d trusted before.
But gold blinds the heart when the price is so high,
Allee drew his Colt, and Brack’s fate drew nigh.

[Chorus – Varied]
They called him Captain Dick, the man with no rest,
Ran with the devil, died in the West.
A legend in dust, a name in a song,
Brack Cornett rode fierce—but he rode too long.

[Outro]
For all the boys ridin’ rough and free,
The law caught Brack, but his soul broke the key.
Some men shatter chains, some spit on the law,
His shadow still rides where the wild winds call.
