The Lawman
They sent me out from Santa Fe to try and find his trailThey think that I'm the only one who can bring him back to jailThis star says I'm a lawman this gun has seen me throughAnd though my heart is heavy I've got a job to doYou see he's such a proud man who never learned to crawlBut a good man turns gun slinger he's the meanest man of allHe killed the US Marshall and for that he's gonna payAnd I'm the lonely lawman who's on his trail todayThere was a time he fought for true and on the side of rightUntil the only girl he loved was killed one faithful nightI know his heart was shattered as he turned the barren sodAnd laid away her body come ending into GodThen he vowed a revenge to those who took her lifeAnd every notch upon his gun a tear shed for his wifeBut revenge is like wild fire sweepin' through the woodIt turns reason into ashes and it burns out on the goodNow I can't help but remember as I trail this lonesome manI don't believe while we were boys out of any race we ranFor you see his face resembles mine we talk somewhat the sameAnd though we walk in different world we both wear our daddy's name
