When the gunfight comes to town You know me I’ll be around and around I’m saying nothing but I’m watching every move When it comes the time to play I’m gonna play the cards I choose I’m gonna take what’s mine Gonna see you down the line
Some other guy has got a diamond up his sleeve My honest cards were not enough and so I watch you leave The evening sun goes down and then I hit the road I guess it’s true, that he aint got the stuff, for carrying that load I’m gonna take what’s mine Gonna see you down the line
My triggers fast, my bullets cold If there’s a faster gun he’s still one that I don’t know I wait my chance because it’s not my day to lose My triggerfinger’s swelling up, and measuring the groove
Further up the road I see you waiting by the side His trick was not enough and it comes as no surprise Ten paces are about, as close as he would get Before my trigger finger puts a bullet in his chest, about time ’cause I’m gonna take what’s mine Gonna see you down the line
My triggers fast, my bullets cold If there’s a faster gun he’s still one that I don’t know I wait my chance because it’s not my day to lose My triggerfinger’s swelling up, and measuring the groove
