I'm gonna tell you a story
'Bout a hero of the old wild west
He had the power and the glory
And everyone knew Jim was the best
So when there used to be a gunfight
Jimmy was fast on the draw
People dying in the sunlight
He was the meanest draw you ever saw
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
He's kind to the ladies
Father of some babies
He's the best gunfighter in the whole damned town
He sits by the fire
Old, bold and tired
He's the best gunfighter in town
Now Jim was looking for a lover
So every girl had to run 'n' hide
And as they quickly ran for cover
He came hunting for a brand new bride
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
Now he finally found his loved-one
Or should we say: she found him
Her tongue was faster than his handgun
That was the end of our old mean Jim
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
He writes to his mother - tells her not to bother
He's losing all his hair - and he doesn't even care
Church every Sunday - working every Monday
