Lyrics

Somewhere out there in the world tonight Just out of my reach I hear your heart beat Comin' in loud and clear tonight Poundin' in my brain Callin' out your name In the darkness something binds you to me So that I can find you When you want me I will be there Waiting on you Somewhere out there In there in your heart tonight Where I have never gone You are not alone It is tearing me all apart alright But girl what can I do When I'm so far from you And when I lay me down to sleep My one and only prayer is you'll keep Safe from harm until I get Wherever you are Somewhere out there If you're sad or if you're lonely If you're scared, if you're only Tired of fightin' Seekin' shelter Just hold on I'm Somewhere out there Somewhere out there in the world tonight Just out of your reach You'll hear my heart beat About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war I saw my first pistol in the general store In the general store, when I was thirteen I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up She really blew up, and she didn't understand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand Me very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt Shoots as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow It loads a mite slow, and soon I found out It'll get you into trouble but it can't get you out So about a year later I bought a Colt 45 Called a peacemaker but I never knew why I never knew why, I didn't understand Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand Got into a card game in a company town I caught a miner cheating, I shot the dog down I shot the dog down, I watched the man fall He never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
