lyrics

Headed west on a train
Passed the fields of dry decay
Lit a cig, went down deep
Faded fast, fell asleep

Heard a noise, jumped right up,
Hit my head, knocked me down
Fell to the ground but thank the Lord
‘Cuz what happened next woulda killed me

---Chorus---
Shot
The bullet grazed my chin
Shot
It woulda done me in
Shot from behind by the Coward Jack
Shot from behind but he missed my back

Rolled around to find my gun
Borrowed time, I might be done
He’s stompin’ fast, the creakin’ floor
I’m lookin’ dead more an’ more

Train’s on fire, he’s in the door
Leave my gun, jump off the train
My boot caught the rail but thank the Lord
‘Cuz what happened next woulda killed me

-Chorus-

Rolled down the hill, Jack’s in tow
Out for blood, don’t I know
Up we get, no point to run
He’s the one who’s got the gun

Hit him hard, down he falls
Grab his gun, watch him cry
Killed his wife, now I’ll kill him too
But that’s when a shot came outta the blue

-Chorus-
