Marty Robbins - Fastest Gun Around Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In the days of William Bonney
  • Better know as Bill the Kid
  • A young cowboy named Joey Steele
  • Was 'bout to make his bid.
  • Well, they heard one day
  • That Bill the Kid just rode into town
  • And if he could take him
  • He would be fastest gun around.
  • He was just a kid of seventeen
  • But he had a lightin' hand
  • And he said it's time I showed the world
  • That I've become a man.
  • Everyone thinks Billy is
  • The fastest gun around
  • But they will know I'm faster
  • When they see me shoot him down.
  • They finally came together
  • Down on Main Street just at five
  • The people were all gathered
  • Wonderin' who'd be left alive.
  • Billy knew that Joey wanted
  • Notches on his gun
  • And he wished that he could give him
  • Those he'd carved upon his own.
  • Joey's hand went to his side
  • He was sure that he had won
  • But before he even fired he saw
  • The smoke of Billy's gun.
  • And he felt the bullet hit him hard
  • And before his eyes he saw
  • His wasted life pass quickly
  • Ending with this fatal draw.
  • Billy breathed more easily
  • And he put away his gun
  • And he tried to ease his conscience
  • For the wrong that he had done.
  • Then he saddled up his horse
  • And headed westward out of town
  • And he wondered just how long he'd be
  • The fastest gun around...
