As the sun sets I ride With my pistol by my side I know I’ll survive tonight Like dust in the wind I’m restless with no end I’ll find the man who sinned Death heavy on my mind The wounds will heal in time My strength will win the fight The sun begins to rise
Rode in town with a loaded gun My face is burnt and I’m on the run The whole damn town won’t look me in the eye Took a seat at the local saloon Piano man playin’ outta time A shot of whisky to wash away the pain
Raise my head the man is staring at me I grind my teeth my heart quickly beats I make my move cause it’s time for him to pay He stands and tries to ghost himself away I quickly follow I can’t hesitate My trigger finger tellin’ me he’s got to die
I shot my gun he had to pay the final price One man down many more to go I’m justified I just need to settle the score They’ll never take y peacemaker away
Grab my steed and I’m set to tide I gotta move or they’ll catch my hide I’m only free with the blood I’ve left behind I make my journey across the dusty plains I got a plan to cure my sorrow and pain The smoke clears and I live to see the day
I shot my gun he had to pay the final price One man down many more to go I’m justified I just need to settle the score They’ll never take y peacemaker away
