James And The Cold Gun |
James, come on home. |
You’ve been gone too long, baby. |
We can’t let our hero |
Die alone. |
We miss you day and night. |
You left town to live by the rifle. |
You left us to fight, |
But it just ain’t right to take away the light. |
Remember Genie from the casino? |
She’s still a-waiting in that big brass bed. |
The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back, |
'Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead. |
They’re only lonely for the life that they led |
With their old friend. |
Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun? |
Selling your soul to a Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun? |
Where lies your heart? |
It’s not there in the buckskin, baby. |
It’s not there in the gin |
That makes you laugh long and loud. |
You’re a coward, James. |
You’re running away from humanity. |
You’re running away from reality. |
It won’t be funny when they rat-a-tat-tat you down. |
Remember Genie from the casino? |
She’s still a-waiting in that big brass bed. |
The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back, |
'Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead. |
They’re only lonely for the life that they led |
With their old friend. |
Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun? |
Selling your soul to a Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun? |
