Spaghetti Western

I woke up in a Spaghetti Western Not sure how this happened to me Standing on the dusty streets of Laredo With six desperado's down the street I gazed off to my left As a tumbleweed went tumbling by There was a dog howling in the distance With an odd sheen to the Western sky Can't say I wasn't trigger happy With my hand inching towards my gun Still wondering how it is I appeared here In this B-movie Western Women and children were running for cover They knew what was soon to go down Truth is you can expect nothing less When you live in a Spaghetti Western town Pecos Bill was the first to draw As I shot him between the eyes Want you to know I took no pleasure in Watching the other five die As I rode off into the sunset The credits behind me rolled How I woke up inside of this movie Is a mystery I will never know

That was really fun, Mike. I'd re-classify it a ballad!
