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

The old gunfighter on the porch[00:00:01]

Stared into the sun[00:00:03]

And relived the days of living[00:00:06]

By the gun[00:00:08]

When deadly games of pride[00:00:11]

Were played[00:00:12]

And living was mistakes not made[00:00:13]

And the thought of the smell of[00:00:16]

The black powder smoke[00:00:17]

And the stand in the street[00:00:19]

At the turn of a joke[00:00:20]

Ah the smell of the black[00:00:22]

Powder smoke[00:00:24]

And the stand in the street[00:00:25]

At the turn of a joke[00:00:26]

And he can almost feel[00:00:29]

The weight of the gun[00:00:30]

It's always keep your[00:00:32]

Back to the sun[00:00:33]

It's faster than snakes[00:00:34]

Or the blink of an eye[00:00:35]

And it's a time for[00:00:37]

All slow men to die[00:00:38]

And his eyes get squinty[00:00:40]

And his fingers twitch[00:00:41]

And he empties the gun[00:00:43]

At the son of a *****[00:00:44]

And he's hit by the smell of[00:00:46]

The black powder smoke[00:00:47]

And the stand in the street at[00:00:49]

The turn of a joke[00:00:50]

Hit by the smell of the[00:00:52]

Black powder smoke[00:00:53]

And the stand in the street[00:00:55]

At the turn of a joke[00:00:56]

Now the burn of a bullet[00:00:59]

Is only a scar[00:01:00]

He's back in his chair[00:01:02]

In front of the bar[00:01:03]

And the streets are empty[00:01:05]

And the blood's all dried[00:01:06]

And the dead are dust[00:01:08]

And the whiskey's inside[00:01:08]

So buy him a drink[00:01:11]

And lend him an ear[00:01:13]

He's nobody's fool[00:01:14]

And the only one here[00:01:15]

Who remembers the smell of[00:01:17]

The black powder smoke[00:01:18]

And the stand in the street[00:01:20]

At the turn of a joke[00:01:21]

Remember the smell of[00:01:24]

The black powder smoke[00:01:25]

And the stand in the street[00:01:27]

At the turn of a joke[00:01:28]

He said I stood in that street[00:01:31]

Before it was paved[00:01:32]

Learned shoot or be shot[00:01:34]

Before I could shave[00:01:35]

And I did it all for the[00:01:37]

Money and fame[00:01:39]

Noble was nothing[00:01:40]

But feeling no shame[00:01:41]

And nothing was sacred[00:01:43]

But stayin' alive[00:01:44]

And all that I learned[00:01:45]

From a Colt 45[00:01:47]

Was to curse the smell of[00:01:49]

The black powder smoke[00:01:50]

And the stand in the street[00:01:52]

At the turn of a joke[00:01:53]

Curse the smell of the black[00:01:55]

Powder smoke[00:01:57]

And the stand in the street[00:01:58]

At the turn of a joke[00:01:59]

Now he's just an old man[00:02:03]

That no one believes[00:02:04]

Says he's a gunfighter [00:02:06]

The last of the breed[00:02:07]

And there are ghosts[00:02:09]

In the street seeking revenge[00:02:10]

Calling him out to the[00:02:12]

Lunatic fringe[00:02:13]

Now he's out in the[00:02:15]

Traffic checking the sun[00:02:16]

And he's killed by a car[00:02:19]

As he goes for his gun[00:02:20]

So much for the smell of the[00:02:22]

Black powder smoke[00:02:24]

And the stand in the street[00:02:26]

At the turn of a joke[00:02:27]

So much for the smell of the[00:02:29]

Black powder smoke[00:02:31]

And the stand in the street[00:02:32]

At the turn of a joke[00:02:33]
