Smokin' 45

I've seen the badlands
I've held a whirlwind in my hands.
Slept in the _______
Whiskey's washed away the sand.

Gamblers who cheated
And sheriffs who lied
The last thing they saw 
From the deaths that they died
Was my smokin' 45
My smokin 45.

Ten thousand dollars
That's what I'm worth
Dead or alive.
Six loaded chambers
Ten men rode out
Not one survived.

They've got my name
On the telegraph line.
Ten dead men's faces
And the gun that's for hire.

repeat chorus
Gamblers who cheated etc.

I'm ridin' south
To the Mexico line
Posse behind me 
And they're makin' good time.

Men with vendettas
A solution they tried
To reach great fame
With a gun at their side
Against my smokin 45 
My smokin 45
