it was in alexandria that I took my first life he had it out for me from the beginning so I carried a knife it was long and shiny like a silvery tooth they say only dead men still tell the truth
chorus: trade your pistol for a coffin and crows will dig your grave they say I shot a man for nothin and for you I'll do the same cuz I'm the man with no name
I was in dallas texas when I bought my first gun around the time I left home and went on the run they were hot on my heels by the time I turned twenty-five I remember singin 'back in black' when I broke through that line
now I travel the western worlds when the desert sun is high with a belly full of iron and a double-barrel full of fire and ice the trail of my cigarette marks the places I've been I'm a man without a home the whisper of the wind
