[Verse 1] I was livin' on the wild side Born west of the great divide I made a living outside the law You'd best run and hide when I say "Draw" Never wore a white hat in the deadlock gang If I didn't straighten up, I was bound to hang I learned to ride with blackwatch pride Still livin' on the wild side [Chorus] Can't shoot me down, can't stop me now I'll right the wrongs of the past somehow Ain't got no riches, no silver spoon When you see me comin' into your saloon You know what time it is [Verse 2] We had a civil war and the family split Wasn't bout to pick sides, didn't wanna commit so I took the next train home to Santa Fe I'm a gun for hire, I'm a renegade But I stick to justice and I won't be swayed
Lookin' for redemption from all my wicked ways [Chorus] Can't shoot me down, can't stop me now I'll right the wrongs of the past somehow Ain't got no riches, no silver spoon When you see me comin' into your saloon You know what time it is It's high noon [Bridge] It feels like I'm back from the dead I'm stayin' one step ahead I'll keep the peace, and they'll fear my name If you step outside the law Then y'all know I'm takin' aim [Chorus] Can't shoot me down, can't stop me now I'll right the wrongs of the past somehow Ain't got no riches, no silver spoon When you see me comin' into your saloon You know what time it is It's high noon
