The Gunslinger

Stepped off of the train in this town
May look kind of strange, kind of rough all around
You don't know what I've been through
But you'd better not stare better watch your mouth boy
Don't be fool! No need to be scared
But you need to be aware you think you own this town
I don't care.
At they bear, I'm just looking for some brothers
In arms and the woman with the long dark hair
But don't call an outlaw no
I'm a motherfucking gunslinger
You wanna run your mouth all day long
You'd better keep your eye
On my motherfucking trigger finger
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Some people think they know me
Think they can predict me
Think they gotta dis me
When I'm not around and when I come darking in the door
They get weak in the knees and crumble like a castle to the ground
'Cause they know I ain't taking no shit
I got a woman who left me
White with a heart of cold stone
When they see black in my eyes
They see a man so deep in the red that it chills them to the bone
But don't call me an outlaw no
I'm a motherfucking gunslinger
You wanna run your mouth all day long
You'd better keep your eye
On my motherfucking trigger finger
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
I'm just cold as the day as long
And I'm lost and lost so song
So you best just move alone
Gonna like to feel alone
Oh, don't call me an outlaw
I'm a motherfucking gunslinger
You wanna run your mouth all day long
You'd better keep your eye
On my motherfucking trigger finger
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
Do you feel me punk?
I'm just cold as the day as long
And I'm lost and lost so song
So you best just move alone
Gonna like to feel alone
