Fastest Gun Alive
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.
Do you know that I was once famous
with a cool hand and a deadly aim
As the years passed with the reputation
they still ask can I still play the game
A tall order
I don't know if I'm that spry
Fastest gun alive
Is the borderline that wide
Fastest gun alive
I'm a wanted man
Guess I told you that I hung my hat up
I was all through with the dusty plain
Now the old's new and the question's--how much
will you still do for the price of fame
A tall order
I don't know if I'm that spry
Fastest gun alive
Is the borderline that wide
Fastest gun alive
I'm a wanted man
How could it I be
the face on this reward
And they tell me I'm a destperate man
but I'm only tired of being bored
