Danny Malone - The Gunfight lyrics

While he walks through the slow town With his eyes towards the road Boots, tattoos, and scars and spurs And from his lips flows cigarette smoke And if the stories are true then he's k**ed more men than any man in the West And of all the gunfighters that lived in his day well, man, they all knew he was best But no one knew that he was tired of this sh** He was tired of living on the run But he had won more fight for he could hang his gun He sang: A young buck out of Carolina said that I had k**ed his brother And he's been riding all this way to find me and avenge his honor Says he knows that I'm a better fighter but he'll never feel free Till he fires the gun that murders me They stood in the mud and the rain and the street outside the bar Hand near their hips Fingertips twitching as they stood twenty paces apart Well they had lightning set fire to the sky One doubt will make the wind whistle And just then the boy pulled out his pistol ROCK! Those gunshots were as loud as thunder And they shook the crowd these boys were under And right there beneath the stars This cowboy felt a, a bullet pierce his... Heart A bullet pierced his heart He could have won that fight But something inside said don't pull the trigger 'Cause for him it's just another k** But for the boy it was something bigger 'Cause: That young buck out of Carolina Come here with something to prove He must have thought that he would surely die but, hell, he had nothing to lose Well, the cowboy knew he couldn't change the past but he could make one more run If he lost his life If he lost his life If he lost his life In this gunfight In this gunfight In this gunfight In this gunfight I said this cowboy lost his last gunfight
