lyrics

Now there are laws in this town
About where a man can hang around
And what he can and can not do with his gun
But around here son it’s one for one
And if you don’t want to end up gone
You do exactly what needs done
Now there ain’t nothing in this desert town
Just a little place a like to hang around
And a girl that I know
She makes her gold from secrets told
And pouring drinks and laughing at jokes
and telling us where to find the pay load

And this is how the west was won
With blood, a girl, higher ground, and a gun

Now me and the boys are quick to around
We know our ins and we know our outs
And we waited five miles south of town
With a horse’s roar we were four
And they were at least ten or more
But the dynamite we had would even the score

And this is how the west was won
With blood, a girl, higher ground, and a gun

Now from the time I heard the first blast
to the time I heard the last
it felt like eternity had past
Wasn’t much standing but me
And now me and the boys were just a band of three
But we were 50 gold richer a piece

And this is how the west was won
With blood, a girl, higher ground, and a gun

Anthony Leon is a storyteller, weaving his sermon of love and loss, feast & famine in with your own. . ... more
