I'm a gambler
and I'm a runner
But you knew that
when you laid down
I'm a picture
of ugly stories
I'm a killer
and I'm a clown
Step into the street
past sundown
Step into your
last goodbye
You're a target
just by living
Twenty dollars will
make you die
I wear lace and
I wear black leather
My hands are lightening up
on my gun
My shots are clean
and my shots are final
My shots are deadly
and when it's done
You're as stiff as
my smoking barrel
You're as dead as
a desert night
You're a notch
and I'm a legend
You're at peace
and I must hide
Tell me where
the hell I'm going
Let my bones
fall in the dust
Can't you hear
that ghost that's calling
As my Colt begins
to rust
In the dust
I'm a killer
I'm a clown
I'm a priest
that's gone to town
