about

Song about an old western gunslinger that is constantly having to defend his status as being the fastest gun in the west, He is aging and knows that one day he will be bested in the end.

lyrics

The Gunslinger

Verse :
Well I walk this dusty road; I have seen all there is to see
My thoughts they weigh heavy and I long to be set free
Still they all come one by one to face me


Chorus:
Cause I’m The Gunslinger, I’ve got fire in my veins
My fingers on the trigger, gonna blow you away
Staring down my barrel is the last thing you will see
If you know what’s good, you’ll turn and run from me - the Gunslinger


Verse:
I’m the quickest draw around, please turn and run
Cursed with a steady hand and so damn good with this gun
Still they all come one by one …. To face

Chorus:
The Gunslinger, I’ve got fire in my veins
My fingers on the trigger, gonna blow you away
Steering down my barrel is the last thing you will see

Verse:
My bones they grow so tired and I’m weathered from the years
And I know the day will come when I’m bested by my peers
Still they come one by one but until then…. I’m the

Chorus:
The Gunslinger, I’ve got fire in my veins
My fingers on the trigger, gonna blow you away
Steering down my barrel is the last thing you will see
If you know what’s good, you’ll turn and run from me


I’m a dead ringer , I’m the Gunslinger…
