lyrics

The purple hour of dawn paints the white taut face blue
Ice cracks beneath his boots. The cock crow overdue
“Why?” whispers the face of gray, the bank, and the smithy’s fire
“Who?” asks the morning dove.
“Who cares,” says the funeral pyre

The nameless stranger had held the cards for two days in a row
Staring through the mirror, he said, “That gunman’s gotta go”
Standing at the bar ready for one more
Gunslinger was thinking of something else
Not hearing what he’d heard before

Slinger, gunslinger, are you heading for Boot Hill?
Don’t you remember that God once said, Thou Shalt Not Kill
You do just what you’re able, and
You do what you do best
Slinger, gunslinger, are they ever gonna let you rest?

A gold watch on a gold chain, an ancient rosary
Hiding in the pockets of a human mystery
To some he is a hero. His skill is absolute.
Though admired, he kills for hire.
What kind of man would go that route?

Slinger, gunslinger, are you heading for Boot Hill?…

The lizard in his mastery, the cactus along the trail
Bleached bones and wagon wheels tell a silent, thirsty tale
The sun moves toward the West, like a man looking for his home
Gunslinger glances eastward
He knows that he must roam

Slinger, gunslinger, you’re heading for Boot Hill…
