Bush Wacked Lyrics by Josey Wales

Strictly the Best, Vol. 19 - Various Artists

0

[Intro]
Hey gove'
I just wanna talk about love
And I want you to know that you're one of us
And a real cowboy never leaves his Bible
[Verse 1]
Said, I was going through Higgins Town one Wednesday morning
Tying up some hens with some friends
So I stopped at a bar, smoking my cigar
When I heard two shots from behind
[Chorus]
It was a coward who shot the colonel in his back
Ran away with my money like a rat
And I guess he's never been told, he never know
My life is more precious than gold
Yodelay
Yodelay
Yodelay
Yee haw!
[Verse 2]
When I woke up in the hospital thе other morning
Luciano was at my bedside playing his guitar
Captain Barkеy, Tapper Zuki, Beenie Man and all these stars
Red rose from near and far
[Chorus]
It was a coward who shot the colonel in his back
Ran away with my money like a rat
And I guess he's never been told, he never know
My life is more precious than gold
[Interlude 1]
I wanna take time out to pay a special request to all the nurses and doctors out there in the world
'Cause I want you all to know that you're the human mechanics
And if you don't do it right, then we gotta lose our life
Mmm
[Chorus]
It was a coward who shot the colonel in his back
Ran away with my money like a rat
And I guess he's never been told, he never know
My life is more precious than gold
Yodelay
Yodelay
Yodelay
Yee haw!
[Interlude 2]
And all you cowboys out there, walking with your rifle
I'm asking you to trade it in for the Holy Bible
'Cause you see, sometimes you leave home you might be just bush wacked
You may never make it back
Mmm
[Chorus]
It was a coward who shot the colonel in his back
Ran away with my money like a rat
And I guess he's never been told, he never know
My life is more precious than gold
Yodelay
Yodelay
Yodelay
Yee haw!
Yodelay
Yodelay
Yodelay
Mmm
[Chorus]
It was a coward who shot the colonel in his back
Ran away with my money like a rat
And I guess he's never been told, he never know
My life is more precious than gold
Mmm
[Outro]
It was a coward who shot the colonel in his back
Ran away with my money like a rat
And I guess he's never been told, he never know
Mmm, my life is more precious than gold
