My Wild West Gang

big man big gun big heart
that's me in a nutshell

healin's my callin'
shootin's my insurance

guns run dry
my spear don't

rock don't lie
men do
I trust my pickax

my pa said shoot straight
and speak truth
I live by both

bang! ha ha!
did I get ya?

they fear my gun
they should fear
what's behind it

God guides my hands
medicine does the rest
