Once Upon a Time in the West

Lyrics
These days everybody wants a cowboy And I get the appeal Who doesn't love a rebel in a wide open field? Your tongue's tied like a lasso His is silver as his gun He'll wrangle the moon And then he'll shoot out the sun The only thing that he can't do is stay But he'll tip his hat before he rides away He'll come in guns blazing then Leave you wild and craving him He won't ride into the sunset He'll be long gone before that Mend your fence but leave you broken Just enough so you're still hoping That's him in the distance But you haven't heard from him since He left you in a cloud of dust Guess this town wasn't big enough of us That's the thing about cowboys Sharp shooters don't miss Anything or anyone They just keep heading west You'll never be his sidekick You're not Bonnie and Clyde When the sheriff comes to get you He'll leave you behind The only thing that he can't do is stay But he'll tip his hat before he rides away He'll come in guns blazing then Leave you wild and craving him He won't ride into the sunset He'll be long gone before that Mend your fence but leave you broken Just enough so you're still hoping That's him in the distance But you haven't heard from him since He left you in a cloud of dust Guess this town wasn't big enough of us One hand on his holster and a bounty on his head I'm the only one who wants him who don't want him dead The only thing quicker than his quickdraw was how Fast my heart broke when I heard he left town The only thing that he can't do is change But he'll leave you with a promise of someday Came in guns blazing then Left me wild and craving him He didn't ride into the sunset He was long gone before that Both of his guns still smoking Years later I'm still hoping I'll see him in the distance But I haven't heard from him since He left me in his cloud of dust Guess this town wasn't big enough for both of us
