Generate meaning
1
I have the reputation that's known throughout the land
2
They say I'm master on the draw of any livin' man
3
They call me a bad man, they say I kill for fun
4
They say the only thing I know is how to use a gun
5
But they don't know the reason they branded me as bad
6
It started many years ago when I was just a lad
7
I rode into a cattle town, a boy of twenty-three
8
So young and yet that very day I carved my destiny
9
I walked into the town saloon that sad and faithful day
10
Then I began to gamble to pass the time away
11
I thought I played a hand or two then hit the thrill again
12
But Lady Luck was with me and I began to win
13
The dealer kept on dealin', the stakes were gettin' high
14
And pretty soon there was no one left but an old cowboy and I
15
The minutes seemed like hours, you couldn't hear a sound
16
We've been in race until we'd lay all our money down
17
The cowboy smiled and showed his hands, three aces he did hold
18
But I laid down the royal flush and reached to claim my gold
19
The cowboy stood and faced me, his hands hung on his hips
20
A look of hate was in his eyes and the smile had left his lips
21
He said, ‽Young man, slap leather, I'm known for miles around
22
To keep my reputation about I got to gun you downâ€
23
White lightnin' speeded through that fire, one life will be the cost
24
The cowboy crumbled to the floor, his reputation lost
25
Now years have come and years have gone and many men have died
26
He's tried his luck and hoped he'd be the fastest gun alive
27
And in my many fights to live, I wondered if I'd won
28
I'm known by all the bad men, they think I kill for fun
29
Someday I'll meet the cowboy who's speed will meet the test
30
And that will in the saga of the bad man of the west
