Conway Twitty - Bad Man lyrics
I have the reputation that's known throughout the land They say I'm master on the draw of any livin' man They call me a bad man they say I kill for fun They say the only thing I know is how to use a gun But they don't know the reason they branded me as bad It started many years ago when I was just a lad. I rode into a cattletown a boy of twenty-three So young and yet that very day I caught my destiny I walked into the town saloon that sad and faithful day Then I began to gamble to pass the time away I thought I'd played a hand or two and hit the thrill again But Lady Luck was with me and I began to win. The dealer kept on dealin' the stakes were gettin' high And pretty soon there was no one left but an old cowboy and I The minutes seemed like hours, you couldn't hear a sound We've been in a race until we'd lay all our money down The cowboy smiled and showed his hands, three aces he did hold But I laid down the royal flush and reached to claim my gold The cowboy stood and faced me his hands hung on his hips A look of hate was in his eyes and the smile had left his lips. He said young man slap leather, I'm known for miles around To keep my reputation about I got to gun you down White lightnin' speeded through that fire one life will be the cost The cowboy tumbled to the floor his reputation lost. Now years have come and years've gone and many men have died He's tried his luck and hoped he's be the fastest gun alive And in my many fights to live I wondered if I'd won I'm known by all the bad man they think I kill for fun. Someday I'll meet the cowboy who's speed will meet the test And that will in the saga of the bad man of the west... |
