Generate meaning
1
They sent me out from Santa Fe to try and find his trail
2
They think that I'm the only one who can bring him back to jail
3
This star says I'm a lawman this gun has seen me through
4
And though my heart is heavy I've got a job to do
5
You see he's such a proud man who never learned to crawl
6
But a good man turns gun slinger he's the meanest man of all
7
He killed the US Marshall and for that he's gonna pay
8
And I'm the lonely lawman who's on his trail today
9
There was a time he fought for true and on the side of right
10
Until the only girl he loved was killed one faithful night
11
I know his heart was shattered as he turned the barren sod
12
And laid away her body come ending into God
13
Then he vowed a revenge to those who took her life
14
And every notch upon his gun a tear shed for his wife
15
But revenge is like wild fire sweepin' through the wood
16
It turns reason into ashes and it burns out on the good
17
Now I can't help but remember as I trail this lonesome man
18
I don't believe while we were boys out of any race we ran
19
For you see his face resembles mine we talk somewhat the same
20
And though we walk in different world we both wear our daddy's name
Stan and Ollie meet Creedence Clearwater
