California Kid

I rode into tpwn on a crippled horse Got fired from a cattle drive up north The ropes of the gallows were swingin' in the breeze All the Wanted posters had pictures of me Tied what was left of my horse to a hitch Walked into a saloon, they called the 'Busted Bitch' I ordered up a whiskey, they asked me for my bread I paid him two bits, then I pumped him full of lead I got my Colt Forty Five, right by my side I'm the California Kid, I hope you're quite prepared to die A lady of the evening was eyeballing me Staring down from the balcony She walked up to me with gun powder breath The ace of hearts was bleeding from her hip I dragged her upstairs by her lower lip I got my Colt Forty Five, right by my side I'm the California Kid, I hope you're quite prepared to die She untied my boots, she untied my jeans She untied my tubes I had tied in my teens 'bout that time he front door was kicked in And there stood some asshole all covered in sin He saids 'That's my woman', I said 'That's no lie' I blew a hole in him just as big as the sky I got my Colt Forty Five, right by my side I'm the California Kid, I hope you're quite prepared to die
