By the Gun (All-Star Western) Lyrics by Dr. Awkward

I.V: The First 4

0

[verse 1]
A lone man, lost in a world gone by
An obsolete model only knows one life
Left in a wake as the time marched on
And he longs for the days that are so far gone
The world would be different
Only if his side had won
So the soldier turned hired gun
Job’s a job; he’s no stranger to the dirt
Cause the honest men never gets the work
This new piece, it doesn’t really do it for him
1880 and he still wears the uniform
They move forward and he doesn’t make the trip
The only absolute, the two guns on his hip
They’re two worlds, like they’re destined to meet
They trade the Wild West for industrial streets
Get in his way and he won’t hesitate to hurt ya
His biggest enemy’s inertia
[Chorus x2]
He is the answer
He is the one
Lives by the code
To die by the gun
To live and die by the gun
[verse 2]
He walks alone on the path he’s reluctantly shown
Find himself in a world that is so far from home
Another thief met with blast and reload
The coldest man has a code
Friend to no man, enemy to many
You’ll be lucky if you’re met with little sympathy, if any
A man apart bringing honor to the fall
He’s been on both sides of the law
They call him Jonah
More accurately Hex
He leaves nothing in his wake but destruction and distress
He’s not concerned with the crime or the proof
This man only seeks the truth
In the world of tomorrow, he can’t turn the page
So the war of before made the man of today
Get in his way, and there’s no chance to run
You’re on the wrong side of the gun
[Chorus x2]
He is the answer
He is the one
Lives by the code
To die by the gun
To live and die by the gun
