The Gunsling

Lyrics

[Intro] Standin' alone in the soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death In time, and in vain I wash my hands of yesterday And if I should fall, if I should pass It's worth one last stand Before the gates Before the gates of hell Crawlin' alone in the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death Standin' alone in the soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man [Verse 1] When sun sets dusk and streets are cleared Well this town's renegade is near Out standing tall, awaiting host What's it like to see a ghost? Both outlaws equal, yes indeed One shot rhythm to the gunsling So long, my sweet (Bye, bye) [Chorus] Standin' alone through the soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man Crawling alone through the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death [Verse 2] He clenched his fists and said a prayer For every breath of dusty air He fires loud, waiting heroes What's it like to be a ghost? Both outlaws equal, yes indeed One shot rhythm to the gunsling So long my sweet [Pre-Chorus] I hear those voices shouting "Take my life" I cannot take mine lying down No [Chorus] Standin' alone in soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man Crawling alone through the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death [Bridge] In time (In time) In vain (In vain) I wash my hands of yesterday If I should fall (If I should fall) If I should pass It's worth one last stand Before the gates of hell Before the gates of hell Before the gates of hell [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] I hear those voices shouting "Take my life" I cannot take mine lying down No [Chorus] Standin' alone through the soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death [Outro] In time (In time) In vain (In vain) I wash my hands of yesterday If I should fall (If I should fall) If I should pass It's worth one last stand Before the gates of hell No
