I'm gonna tell you a story
'Bout a hero of the old wild west
He had the power and the glory
And everyone knew Jim was the best
So when there used to be a gunfight
Jimmy was fast on the draw
People dying in the sunlight
He was the meanest draw you ever saw
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
He's kind to the ladies
Father of some babies
He's the best gunfighter in the whole d***ed town
He sits by the fire
Old, bold and tired
He's the best gunfighter in town
Now Jim was looking for a lover
So every girl had to run 'n' hide
And as they quickly ran for cover
He came hunting for a brand new bride
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
Now he finally found his loved-one
Or should we say: she found him
Her tongue was faster than his handgun
That was the end of our old mean Jim
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
He writes to his mother - tells her not to bother
He's losing all his hair - and he doesn't even care
Church every Sunday - working every Monday
'Bout a hero of the old wild west
He had the power and the glory
And everyone knew Jim was the best
So when there used to be a gunfight
Jimmy was fast on the draw
People dying in the sunlight
He was the meanest draw you ever saw
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
He's kind to the ladies
Father of some babies
He's the best gunfighter in the whole d***ed town
He sits by the fire
Old, bold and tired
He's the best gunfighter in town
Now Jim was looking for a lover
So every girl had to run 'n' hide
And as they quickly ran for cover
He came hunting for a brand new bride
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
Now he finally found his loved-one
Or should we say: she found him
Her tongue was faster than his handgun
That was the end of our old mean Jim
BUT NOW !
(Chorus)
He writes to his mother - tells her not to bother
He's losing all his hair - and he doesn't even care
Church every Sunday - working every Monday
