Conversation With A Gun Lyrics by Johnny Bond

That Wild, Wicked But Wonderful West

0

[Verse 1]
Speak up, you rusty .45
How many can you name that you faced and left alive?
How many bit the dust, left there lying in the street?
Did you get 'em in the back or did you face 'em on their feet?
Oh, yes, you had your day, you were known for slinging lead
Those behind you laughed and shouted, those in front of you fell dead
There was Lightning Dan and Killer Sam and a rustler known as Lou
There was Utah Pete and One-Eyed Jack, to mention just a few
So won't you tell me how you feel, now that your battles have been won
Speak up, we've no secrets, for I'm the man and you're the gun
[Verse 2]
Yes, you're the gun that tamed the west and I'm the last one that you faced
The one who owned you then, he was beaten and disgraced
They cheered me and they wined me the day I shot him down
I was their hero, heard my praises echo through that western town
But then, although I beat you, you became my own downfall
For I placed you in my holster to see how many I could stall
The very next fight, he got me, left me wounded and outdone
But it wasn't him that beat me, it was you, yes, you, the gun
So go on, hang there on the wall, ignore me, see if I care
I'll wheel myself over to the window here, get me a breath of fresh air
So when some stranger comes calling, I will this story shun
For I know he'll seek the victor, was it me, or was it you... the gun?
