The Last Gunfighter Ballad - Guy Clark[00:00:00]

The old gunfighter on the porch[00:00:06]

Stared into the sun[00:00:09]

And relived the days of living by the gun[00:00:12]

When deadly games of pride were played[00:00:19]

And living was mistakes not made[00:00:22]

And the thought of the smell of the black powder smoke[00:00:25]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:00:27]

Ah the smell of the black powder smoke[00:00:31]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:00:33]

It's always keep your back to the sun[00:00:38]

And he can almost feel the weight of the gun[00:00:41]

It's faster than snakes or the blink of an eye[00:00:44]

And it's a time for all slow men to die[00:00:48]

And his eyes get squinty and his fingers twitch[00:00:50]

And he empties the gun at the son of a bitch[00:00:53]

And he's hit by the smell of the black powder smoke[00:00:56]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:00:59]

Hit by the smell of the black powder smoke[00:01:03]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:01:06]

Now the burn of a bullet is only a scar[00:01:11]

He's back in his chair in front of the bar[00:01:14]

And the streets are empty and the blood's all dried[00:01:17]

And the dead are dust and the whiskey's inside[00:01:20]

So buy him a drink and lend him an ear[00:01:23]

He's nobody's fool and the only one here[00:01:26]

Who remembers the smell of the black powder smoke[00:01:29]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:01:32]

Remember the smell of the black powder smoke[00:01:35]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:01:38]

He said I stood in that street before it was paved[00:01:43]

Learned shoot or be shot before I could shave[00:01:46]

And I did it all for the money and fame[00:01:49]

Noble was nothing but feeling no shame[00:01:53]

And nothing was sacred but stayin' alive[00:01:55]

And all that I learned from a Colt 45[00:01:58]

Was to curse the smell of the black powder smoke[00:02:01]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:02:04]

Curse the smell of the black powder smoke[00:02:08]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:02:10]

Now he's just an old man that no one believes[00:02:15]

Says he's a gunfighter the last of the breed[00:02:19]

And there are ghosts in the street seeking revenge[00:02:22]

Calling him out to the lunatic fringe[00:02:25]

Now he's out in the traffic checking the sun[00:02:28]

And he's killed by a car as he goes for his gun[00:02:31]

So much for the smell of the black powder smoke[00:02:34]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:02:37]

So much for the smell of the black powder smoke[00:02:40]

And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke[00:02:43]
