Premium Member Justified
You got your gun there on your hip. You got your tin star pinned there on your vest. You got your hat pulled way down low Yet your heart beats fast there in your chest. Because before you stands the man And your hand is slippery with sweat And the time for talk is gone And you know one chance is all...

Premium Member The Gunfight
The Gunfight By R.e. Taylor It was a dreadful day Black clouds hung low Thunder echoed around And the rain fell in sheets Still I was on the street Standing in the mud Facing a man who had killed too many He drew as fast as lightning A flash of light A stabbing pain in my chest I never had a chance So I became another notch And an...

As they took to the street, The spurs clinking as they walked. The people looked from the windows, And neither of them talked. The one was a...

Gunfight In a Frontier Town
Chic Waco was the marshal of our little town. Stood near six-two and usually sported a frown. Never said a lot but what he said, was said mighty clear. Most likely if he was talking to you, it was something you wasn't wanting to hear. Chic was a mighty good marshal and...
