Eagleman Band - Fastest Gun Lyrics

I rode into a cattle town
And they all turned as I climbed down
My very walk told them to shun
The one who's known as the Fastest Gun

Inside the bar the locals hush
They sit and wait I'm in no rush
I pray that they won't make me prove
That I'll be the first with bead in grove

A lean young lad adjusts his gun
It's plain to see that he's out for fun
I am his game his chance has come
To prove that he has the Fastest Gun

I'm sick inside at death from guns
But the name I wear won't let me run
My heart is sad that some mother's son
Must take my place as the Fastest Gun

Now we're face to face as he calls me
This is the end of my misery
If he just knew the life he's begun
Made me choose death I was the Fastest Gun

I'd like to stop and not do this
I should have known before our kiss
That I couldn't be her true loved one
Because I'm known as the Fastest Gun

I feel the pain and see the sky
I am alive but don't know why
Now he must bear the price that's come
With one who's known as the Fastest Gun

Will she want me after what I've done
She never liked to play with guns
I'll have to prove that I am done
Chasing the wind as the Fastest Gun
