Fastest Gun Alive

Lyrics

Thunder in the canyon Up a two-track road The kind that I been down a couple times before Late in the spring Just below the timberline I got stoned on a bottle of bluebird wine [Refrain] Down on the creek Where the crystal water flows I thought I saw my life in the melting snow Then I fell asleep From the sun of a midday heat And dreamt about the title I had won [Verse 2] Never been to heaven But I've had one foot in Hell Spent my share of nights in the county jail Thеy weren't too far behind mе Coming up ahead Was the memory of the sweetest thing she said [Refrain] Down on the creek Where the crystal water flows I thought I saw my life in the melting snow Then I fell asleep From the sun of a midday heat Dreamt about the title I had won [Chorus] Fastest gun alive I've been wanted all of my life I can't change these things I've done Please forgive my tears in the sun [Bridge] Raining on the mesa But I can see the sky And the mountains that won't tell me the reason why [Refrain] Down on the creek Where the crystal water flows I thought I saw my life in the melting snow Then I fell asleep From the sun of a midday heat And dreamt about the title I had won [Chorus] Fastest gun alive I've been wanted all of my life I can't change these things I've done Please forgive my tears in the sun Lord, forgive my tears in the sun
