Got sixteen horses seven brides Circle the wagons get some sleep tonight We'll say our prayers around the campfire light Maybe Marona get us through the night Cause there ain't no resting without sacrifice Baby it's my pearl of great price Yeah there Ephram got a bullet in his side Barely can walk surely cannot ride I hate to leave him by the trail to die Maybe a doctor just might ride on by Cause there ain't no healing without sacrifice Baby it's my pearl of great price Here in the desert the crops gone dry Hoardes of locust blacken up the sky Looks like we depleated our whole years supply Guess the scripture have to get us by Cause there ain't no zion without sacrifice Baby it's my pearl of great price Abraham stepped up to kill his son Moses gathered up the kids to run Jesse James he laid down his guns Carry us crusader to the sun Jesus bore his own cross to be crucified Was his pearl of great price I know the devil got his eye on me So I'm as righteous as a man can be I know my fate remains a mystery I know that no man really knows my history Cause there ain't no easy way to paradise It's my pearl of great price Yeah Brother Brigham said this is the place But I seen more faith up in outer space There's not one single soul here I think I can save So excuse me while I dig my early grave Hope that heavens made of blocks of ice Baby it's my pearl of great price I know the devil as an unwelcome guest and he'll take my soul to grant me one request I will resist him with my dying breath But tell me why must prophets die such painful deaths Cause there ain't no easy way to paradise And my pearl of great price Yeah there ain't no easy way to paradise And my pearl of great price
