Time to Put the Six-Shooters Down · 7 July 2003
Chorus:
I guess that it’s time
To put the six-shooters down
It must be time to settle down
Maybe open a store in some little town
As long as I’m with you
Any old thing will do
I fought the range wars I’m a hired gun
I’ve worn a badge and I rode shot gun
For the stage
Started at an early age
I’ve shot at Jesse James and Doc Holiday
Whichever side of the law would put up the pay
Just a hired gun
But gettin’ shot at’s no fun
Chorus
When the shootin’ starts you know I never run
When I’m called out to fight I just go for my gun
I’ve got a steady hand
I always get my man
But I’ve taken some shots; lots of scars are mine
I’ve even got a slug lodged in the back of my spine
I got bushwhacked
It left a pain in my back
Chorus
I’ve met a woman or two in some little town
But not a one made me want to settle down
Until I met you
Now my totin’ days are through
I guess I’ll start ridin’ the range and hearding some cattle
Even though I’m not totin’ I can sit tall in the saddle
Or I can settle down
In some little town
Chorus
