Lyrics

Verse 1: You were sharp as a knife You were quick as a whip Never valued your life Always shot from the hip Verse 2: You were hard as stone You were cold as ice Always got what you’re owed Never had to ask twice Pre-Chorus: There’s no right or wrong It’s just do or die When you live by the gun You’re either dead or alive Chorus: You’re riding roughshod Spurs on In the hot sun With your six gun And your quick draw Like an outlaw In the Sheriff’s town Verse 3: You were tough as nails You were strong as steel Never thought you could fail No matter the deal Verse 4: You were fierce as the wind You were deep as the sea You’d neither break nor bend It’s die or live free Pre-Chorus: There’s no right or wrong It’s just do or die When you live by the gun You’re either dead or alive Chorus: You’re riding roughshod Spurs on In the hot sun With your six gun And your quick draw Like an outlaw In the Sheriff’s town You’re playing Russian Roulette At high noon By the old saloon So stake your claim And take your aim It’s only five live rounds Bridge: You gambled your life All chips in But you can never play dice With the devil and win Chorus: You’re riding roughshod Spurs on In the hot sun With your six gun And your quick draw Like an outlaw In the Sheriff’s town You’re playing Russian Roulette At high noon By the old saloon So stake your claim And take your aim It’s only five live rounds * * * Note: A standard game of Russian Roulette with a six gun involves only one round for a 1/6 chance of dying. But there are plenty of non-standard variants, including the inverse, with five rounds for a 1/6 chance of living.
