lyrics

ROOT'NEST TOOT'NEST COWBOY

Me and my horse ridin' many days on end,
Water holes few, far, and in between,
Still good Indians give me direction.
To them I give thanks, I'm on my way.

There's always action every camp I stay, uh-huh.
There's always action every camp I stay.

Quick draw, late night, one eye'd reaction,
The others open at daybreak, quick draw, no hesitation.
This ol' horse I've been ridin' I've never named,
Still for no other crazy cowboy will he become tame.
My trusty troubadour, my loyal friend, no name.
Wakes me up when I should be awake, uh huh.
Wakes me up when I should be awake.
Quick draw, late night, one eye'd reaction,
The others open at daybreak, quick draw, no hesitation.
This ol' horse I've been ridin' I've never named,
Still for no other crazy cowboy will he become tame.

Straddled to my saddle, no rest, no water.
Still I make my way, one path, one bullet's all I need.
I'll do whatever it takes, all remorse aside.
Only one person comin' outta here, one person alive.

Keep on starin' down my big gun barrel!
Do you feel stiff? That things are about to get medieval.
Faster than you think, my quickness being surreal.
Soon you'll see my second chamber as fast as the first.

While you lie there with your dead stare,
I'll pump another six into you.
Then tomorrow another challenge will come.
Twelve shots will be fired, they lay still, and I walk.
Who's ready now, stand aside.
My rampage aint through, tomorrow we'll ride.
Again and again, me and no name will get through.
To another town, hell we might meet you.

Keep on starin' down my big gun barrel!
Do you feel stiff? That things are about to get medieval.
Faster than you think, my quickness being surreal.
Soon you'll see my second chamber as fast as the first.

Ride on! Ride on! Yeah, y'all go home.
So long, so long, we'll see ya along another trail.
“How long”, you say, “until we meet again?”
Not until we're both dead.
Whatta you sayin' with that bullet in your head?
Yeah, now your standin' there with your hands on your waist.
Better draw it, beware, soon you'll see how that dirt tastes.
I'll dig a shallow grave, you'll lie next to your friend.
Ride out in the sunset, winners in the end.
