The Gun Slinger’s Shadow

[Verse]
Dust spins around his boots
Black hat low dark eyes mute
Hands like stone
Grip steel and bone
Shadows crawl where he roams
[Prechorus]
Cold wind whispers his name
Grit and glory one and the same
[Chorus]
The gun slinger rides tonight
Fire in his veins no wrong no right
The shadows stretch they call his name
But he don’t answer don’t play the game
[Verse 2]
Silver moon bleeding sky
Wolves howl low but never try
Fingers twitch death’s a blink
Whiskey burns faster than you think
Ghost towns echo where he sinks
[Prechorus]
Dust and ashes follow his trail
A life lived on the razor's scale
[Chorus]
The gun slinger rides tonight
Fire in his veins no wrong no right
The shadows stretch they call his name
But he don’t answer don’t play the game
