Lyrics
I'm a gunslinger. I have killed men and if heaven keeps my record it's a volume of sin. I'm the reason your brother's six feet under. I'm the reason the West is wild. "Whose blood can I take," I wonder, "that'll make it worth my while?" I'm a gunslinger. Many men have I killed and the bullet from my barrel never had a free will. Will they hang me from the gallows? Will I drag behind a horse? Will they shoot me in the shallows? Watch me drown with no remorse? I can see those pearly gates before me. I can feel the burn in my eyes. I ain't scared how St. Pete will score me. What'll I tell Jesus Christ? I'm a gunslinger. I have killed men and the trigger 'neath my finger never pulled down my hand.
