Tonight when I ride outta here They will curse this shotgun town Where the whisky flows like water And the law means nothing to anyone
I am headin' for a showdown And when the church-bell chimes nine times There's a crazy gamblers' final bet It makes the local undertaker smile You wanted me to settle down, maybe raise a family I remember that I said:"matrimony ain't for me"
The only thing that you said was: "lay down your star with your gun belt And let me be your sweetheart I don't want you to get killed"
I can't do without your kiss, I can't do without your kiss There's no doin' without your kiss
A fearless outlaw always lies Sweatin' in his bed While the guns are always loaded Under a pillow, under his head And when the rooster calls one moment At the final crack of dawn Like the whistle from a long gone train While the folks are gatherin' around
I can't do without your kiss, I can't do without your kiss There's no doin' without your kiss
And in the cathouse when we made it You said: "I'm always yours for free" After a day and night together How in hell could I have disagreed
