No Red Dawn Tonight

Been walking two days To reach a town Outlaws steal my horse Been hunting them down The sun’s very hot ‘My throat is so dry If I don’t get there soon in the desert 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 yeah He was dead alright Now I hang up my guns Got to turn my life around Find a beautiful girl And settle down Nice house White fence over there and a Big gallery With two rocking chairs
