Destiny Songtext
von Sons of the Pioneers

Destiny, there′s no escape for any man
From the very day you're born your destiny is planned
Destiny
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 escape 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 terror 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 dyin', his last words were said to be
"Nothin′ could have saved us, this was our destiny"
Destiny, there's no escape for any man
From the very day you′re born, your destiny is planned
Destiny
