Wild West

hands up, and give me that gold
cock my gun, babe, and watch me roll
time locked all this land
can't get more of what you can't get back

i wait by your side
calm as a coyote with his teeth spread wide
night lives wind the room
bleeding out their bottles ‘neath a blackjack moon

highway and a loaded gun
lawless trigger and all is won
blood, love, gold and debt
all is buried in the wild west

hands up, and give me that gold
load the dice, babe, and watch me roll
i'll trial every suit
judge and the jury and the hitman too

warden of this dance
ticking down the minutes with his hangman hands
kiln dust, diamond mine
everything i ever want is in your eye

highway and a loaded gun
honest trigger and all is won
blood, love, gold and debt
but your law means nothing in the wild west
