The Tortured Gunfighter

[Verse] Down in the valley where the shadows lie A tortured gunfighter under a starry sky Tears in his eyes and a heart so cold He's searching for redemption His story yet untold [Verse] He's seen the wickedness this wild west can hold In his trusty six-shooters Stories yet untold Bullet holes in his body Battles won and lost He's just a lonely cowboy Paying off his cost [Chorus] Oh The tortured gunfighter Lost in the haze Walking through the fire Chasing better days With every scar he carries He's fighting his own damn fight In a world of darkness Where the wrong is right [Verse] Deep in his heart A burden he bears Can't escape the guilt It's always there Her memory lingers Haunting his nights A ghost in his dreams An eternal fight In the darkness His soul starts to decay Can't find redemption No matter what he say Regret and sorrow They consume his mind Her specter follows Always close behind [Verse 2] The law's relentless It never gives up Chasing his shadow Every step he takes Running from justice No place to hide Always on guard Too afraid to confide The Tortured Gunfighter Wanders on The Tortured Gunfighter Wanders alone The Tortured Gunfighter Wants to die The Tortured Gunfighter Is afraid to die The Tortured Gunfighter Wanders on
