No Red Dawn Tonight
No red dawn tonight
Been walking two days
To reach a town
Outlaws steal my horse
Been hunting them down
The sun’s hot
‘My throat is dry
If I don’t get there soon
Know i.m going to die
A light in the distance
Know I’m near
Inter the saloon
Saw them standing there
One reaches for his gun
I shot him dead
Fell to the ground
And his stomach bled
The other two
Turn down the table to hide
The piano stopped
And all run out side
With rage in my eyes
Two guns in my hands
They raise the devil
The day they mess with this man
Fire my Winchester
He let out yell
No red dawn for him tonight
Today He’s going to hell
The last one runs to the street
Town folks all out of sight
Pull my gun lighting fast
He was dead before he hear the blast
Now I hang up my guns
Got to turn my life around
Find a green eyed girl
And settle down
Nice house
White fence over there
Big gallery
With two rocking chairs
