Fastest Gun

I rode into a cattle town And they all turned as I climbed down My very walk told them to shun The one who's known as the Fastest Gun Inside the bar the locals hush They sit and wait I'm in no rush I pray that they won't make me prove That I'll be the first with bead in grove A lean young lad adjusts his gun It's plain to see that he's out for fun I am his game his chance has come To prove that he has the Fastest Gun I'm sick inside at death from guns But the name I wear won't let me run My heart is sad that some mother's son Must take my place as the Fastest Gun Now we're face to face as he calls me This is the end of my misery If he just knew the life he's begun Made me choose death I was the Fastest Gun I'd like to stop and not do this I should have known before our kiss That I couldn't be her true loved one Because I'm known as the Fastest Gun I feel the pain and see the sky I am alive but don't know why Now he must bear the price that's come With one who's known as the Fastest Gun Will she want me after what I've done She never liked to play with guns I'll have to prove that I am done Chasing the wind as the Fastest Gun
