I’m Afraid

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There he stands in the middle of the street With lighting hands and wide spread feet The evening sun is gonna see Somebody dead either him or me [Chorus] I'm afraid [Verse 2] The man I face used to be my friend We used to ride in the Texas wind I guess you'll kill another man I hope you're happy Janie Ann [Chorus] I'm afraid [Verse 3] Too scared to fight too proud to run Guess we'll see who's the fastest gun A lonesome walk on the count of three Then a rapid trip to eternity [Chorus] I'm afraid (Afraid, afraid, afraid) [Verse 4] He's getting closer to me now Soon he'll draw I taught him how A duel of fools for Janie Ann The fastest gal for the fastest man [Chorus] I'm afraid [Verse 5] His hand is dropping to his gun Tell me oh Lord am I the one? My hand is shaking for I know That I'm not really set to go [Chorus] I'm afraid [Verse 6] There he lies in the middle of the street His lightning hands at last I beat I killed my friend for Janie Ann But that don't mean I am a man [Chorus] I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid
