Son Of A Gun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Born to face the dark alone
By his father's guns he'll right the wrong
Following the man in black
Through the desert, to the tower and back
Nobody can stop a gun
Words or looks never killed someone
Nobody can stop a gun
It's death; the final weapon
He's the son of the gun
He's the son of the gun
Just the song of the gun
He's the son of the gun
Cold as steel and twice as hard
Measuring his manhood by the yard
Love and dying are his life
Wears his father's iron by his side
Nobody ever stopped the gun
Some tried now their days are done
Nobody ever stopped the gun
It's said like father, just like son
(repeat chorus)
He's the last of days before
Winning every battle, lost the war
Three remain from the world of old
As he walks the prophecy unfolds
Nobody ever stopped his guns
They do their work and the bodies thump
Nobody ever stopped his guns
They spill some blood and the world moved on
(repeat chorus)
