lyrics

Air hot and dusty dry
Burns so bad it'll make you cry
Hey gunslinger at the end of the bar
Got carried away and we took it too far
Dear sweet precious love of mine
Lost your faith in a blink of an eye
To this young stinger who's ready to fight
I never should let you outta my sight
It'll be all over in ten paces, turn and shoot
And I don't want to die today and I'm shakin' in my boots
If she knew what I was up to, she'd have my head for sure
No time to think it through, ten paces all for you
Smoke flash and a glint of steel
Spun around on the back of my heels
Was it luck or instinct that gave me the drop
And left my rival dead on the spot?
Oh I stand accused of so many crimes
and sundown marks the end of the line
Life's been nuthin' but a reckless trail
Defending an old code of honor to no avail
And it'll be all over in ten paces, hangman's noose
And I don't want to die today and I'm shakin' in my boots
Three more steps until it's over and they'll have my head for sure
Now it's time to pay my dues, ten paces, plus a few more
More
All this time I feel...
The seconds slippin' by and I
Know there's nothin' left….
