[00:00.000]The Last Gunfighter Ballad - Guy Clark
[00:01.449]The old gunfighter on the porch
[00:03.949]Stared into the sun
[00:06.318]And relived the days of living
[00:08.457]By the gun
[00:11.117]When deadly games of pride
[00:12.247]Were played
[00:13.757]And living was mistakes not made
[00:16.447]And the thought of the smell of
[00:17.727]The black powder smoke
[00:19.446]And the stand in the street
[00:20.686]At the turn of a joke
[00:22.646]Ah the smell of the black
[00:24.256]Powder smoke
[00:25.356]And the stand in the street
[00:26.525]At the turn of a joke
[00:29.414]And he can almost feel
[00:30.274]The weight of the gun
[00:32.124]It's always keep your
[00:33.244]Back to the sun
[00:34.814]It's faster than snakes
[00:35.804]Or the blink of an eye
[00:37.524]And it's a time for
[00:38.424]All slow men to die
[00:40.284]And his eyes get squinty
[00:41.884]And his fingers twitch
[00:43.513]And he empties the gun
[00:44.653]At the son of a b***h
[00:46.253]And he's hit by the smell of
[00:47.633]The black powder smoke
[00:49.153]And the stand in the street at
[00:50.663]The turn of a joke
[00:52.803]Hit by the smell of the
[00:53.963]Black powder smoke
[00:55.363]And the stand in the street
[00:56.413]At the turn of a joke
[00:59.813]Now the burn of a bullet
[01:00.773]Is only a scar
[01:02.823]He's back in his chair
[01:03.663]In front of the bar
[01:05.423]And the streets are empty
[01:06.483]And the blood's all dried
[01:08.143]And the dead are dust
[01:08.962]And the whiskey's inside
[01:11.741]So buy him a drink
[01:13.011]And lend him an ear
[01:14.491]He's nobody's fool
[01:15.560]And the only one here
[01:17.480]Who remembers the smell of
[01:18.890]The black powder smoke
[01:20.740]And the stand in the street
[01:21.950]At the turn of a joke
[01:24.209]Remember the smell of
[01:25.318]The black powder smoke
[01:27.128]And the stand in the street
[01:28.188]At the turn of a joke
[01:31.608]He said I stood in that street
[01:32.838]Before it was paved
[01:34.738]Learned shoot or be shot
[01:35.918]Before I could shave
[01:37.608]And I did it all for the
[01:39.128]Money and fame
[01:40.228]Noble was nothing
[01:41.158]But feeling no shame
[01:43.128]And nothing was sacred
[01:44.308]But stayin' alive
[01:45.978]And all that I learned
[01:47.068]From a Colt 45
[01:49.238]Was to curse the smell of
[01:50.648]The black powder smoke
[01:52.408]And the stand in the street
[01:53.658]At the turn of a joke
[01:55.877]Curse the smell of the black
[01:57.377]Powder smoke
[01:58.567]And the stand in the street
[01:59.777]At the turn of a joke
[02:03.047]Now he's just an old man
[02:04.407]That no one believes
[02:06.407]Says he's a gunfighter
[02:07.587]The last of the breed
[02:09.377]And there are ghosts
[02:10.137]In the street seeking revenge
[02:12.045]Calling him out to the
[02:13.355]Lunatic fringe
[02:15.914]Now he's out in the
[02:16.874]Traffic checking the sun
[02:19.463]And he's killed by a car
[02:20.963]As he goes for his gun
[02:22.993]So much for the smell of the
[02:24.743]Black powder smoke
[02:26.292]And the stand in the street
[02:27.512]At the turn of a joke
[02:29.542]So much for the smell of the
[02:31.332]Black powder smoke
[02:32.652]And the stand in the street
[02:33.872]At the turn of a joke
