Lyrics
[Intro]
(instrumental: twangy guitar with harmonica and deep bass)
[Verse 1]
Gather 'round, folks, let me tell you a tale
‘Bout a wild west marshal and a chase on the trail
With dust on my boots and a badge on my chest
I’ve seen it all in this lawless west (lawless west)
[Pre-Chorus] [gritty]
Riding hard, the sun in my eyes
On the hunt for a man who tells nothing but lies
Through the canyons and dusty roads
With a posse riding close, carrying heavy loads (heavy loads)
[Chorus] [rugged]
I’m a marshal in the wild west
Chasin’ down outlaws, never gettin’ rest
Through the dust and the heat, I ride
With justice as my guide (as my guide)
[Verse 2]
This outlaw had a name that spread far and wide
With a bounty on his head, no place to hide
Robbed the bank in the dead of night
And took off runnin', out of sight (out of sight)
[Pre-Chorus] [intense]
Riding hard, the sun in my eyes
On the hunt for a man who tells nothing but lies
Through the canyons and dusty roads
With a posse riding close, carrying heavy loads (heavy loads)
[Chorus] [adventurous]
I’m a marshal in the wild west
Chasin’ down outlaws, never gettin’ rest
Through the dust and the heat, I ride
With justice as my guide (as my guide)
[Bridge] [reflective]
Caught up with him on a dusty hill
In the silence, time stood still
Drew my gun, he made a move
In that moment, I had something to prove (something to prove)
[Instrumental Break]
(instrumental: electric guitar solo with harmonica and drums)
[Verse 3]
Took him down, brought him back to town
Justice served, that outlaw's down
In the saloon, we raised a toast
To the marshal who rode the most (rode the most)
[Chorus] [triumphant]
I’m a marshal in the wild west
Chasin’ down outlaws, never gettin’ rest
Through the dust and the heat, I ride
With justice as my guide (as my guide)
[Outro] [reflective]
Gather 'round, folks, the story’s been told
Of a marshal in the west, brave and bold
In the wild west, where legends grow
Justice rides, and the stories flow (stories flow)
[End]
[End]
