I approached my long-time friend and guitar-playing comrade Doug Rutherford, who I've played music with for more than 20 years. Because Doug had played many of
Rockin Americana country tunes played by some of Colorado’s finest musicians.

Lyrics
Gravediggers Well I got me a call on the wire today and I'll tell you what it said Some bandit with a knack for stealing graves had the town of Reno up in rage It said please Dear John won't you come on down you going to catch that sorry knave He's got the children and the women in a fitful fright and the men are scared but they just won't say Chorus Don't sleep tonight, unless you dare Don't sleep tonight, unless you dare I come down from the mountain on a fine spring day, songs of nature filled the air But somewhere in the valley lurked a crocked mind and I stake my name it will end right there So I spend my time in the town cemetery waiting night and day And early one morn I saw a shadow move with a pick-ax shovel I do-dare say Chorus Well he dug and he dug for an hour or two till he hit that shallow grave I pulled my gun and I pushed him in I said mister this ain't going to be your day He said please have mercy I don't mean harm I'm only looking for a friend I said Mallory Dane's been dead for years I suggest you get your ass out of that grave Chorus Then he bent on down as if in pain, he swung the shovel for my head I put a 44' bullet right through his heart, in this still red dawn he was dead Now the folks in Reno rest in peace and I'm headed for that range This big city life with its lunatics, steal around at night hey they're digging up graves Chorus
