Pride and the Badge - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]

Written by：Marty Robbins[00:00:01]

All night long I tried to sleep but sleep refused to come[00:00:08]

Cause today I knew I'd either have to fight or run[00:00:15]

Knowin' if I choose to run my mind would never rest[00:00:23]

Cause with so much pride I wear this badge upon my vest[00:00:30]

Folks are filled with fear because there's three bad guns in town[00:00:40]

Sheriff Olsen made the wrong move and they shot him down[00:00:47]

One they called Dakota Jack and one El Paso Red[00:00:55]

The other just turned twenty and he's called the Killer Kid[00:01:02]

Good advice I get and that's to leave and run away[00:01:12]

But my pride and badge I wear won't let me live this way[00:01:20]

And if I stay the three have bragged they'll add me to their list[00:01:27]

But I have a different aim and I don't aim to miss[00:01:35]

From the doorway where I stand I see the outlaws three[00:01:45]

Worried none because they know the town's not helpin' me[00:01:52]

From a hundred yards away I try a lucky shot[00:02:00]

Luck is with me and Dakota Jack dies on the spot[00:02:07]

Well a kid runs through the barroom door and red goes up the stairs[00:02:20]

The kid is ragin' mad he's breakin' bottles kickin' chairs[00:02:28]

And from a roof El Paso Red has vowed to pay me back[00:02:36]

As he views the lifeless body of Dakota Jack[00:02:43]

I can see him as he jumps from one roof to the next[00:02:53]

Searchin' for me but he has no idea where I'm at[00:03:00]

But I watch his every move I'm ready when he leaps[00:03:08]

As I shoot him in mid air he crashes to the street[00:03:15]

Now there's one against just one I've evened up the score[00:03:25]

Down the street I hear a yell come through the barroom door[00:03:33]

The kid has screamed there's no way I can live unless I run[00:03:40]

Said there ain't no lawdog man enough to take his gun[00:03:48]

Through the barroom door he walks and steps out on the street[00:03:57]

I can't match his draw he's much too fast for me to beat[00:04:05]

And as I walk toward him we both grab a forty five[00:04:12]

Maybe I will die today and he will stay alive[00:04:20]

Like a hammer somethin' hits me spinnin' me around[00:04:33]

As I fall I shoot him twice before he hits the ground[00:04:41]

His bullet missed me still I feel a burnin' in my chest[00:04:48]

His bullet hits the badge I wear with pride upon my vest[00:04:56]

As the people view the bodies of the lifeless three[00:05:05]

From their looks I know exactly what they think of me[00:05:13]

To them I'm just a killer and they could not care less[00:05:20]

'Bout my pride or 'bout the badge I wear upon my vest[00:05:28]
