The Death of Tall Tom

The Death Of Tall Tom
 I stood up from the ground
 I pushed myself with my hands
 my hands were covered in sand
 and tall toms blood
 I'd been hot on tall toms trail
 he'd killed my wife took her away
 and it changed me to a man
 who searched for blood
 and it had been such a long time
 since he took my love away
 without as much as a second thought
 that I would make him pay
 though it might not be the right thing
 this death won't right his wrong
 then in a breath my bullet caused his death
 and Tall Tom was gone
 though I see my enemy cold and dead in front of me
 I see now that it did not bring her back
 I just killed a lonely man the same lonely man that I now am
 and there is no earthly way of getting back
 tall tom was a man who made a plan that he could follow through
 and if someone had to die well so too bad
 drank good whiskey didn't talk
 didn't care and only lived to taunt
 that's why he had to die for all he'd done
 and even though it is too late now
 to question certain things
 like how the evil things he did throughout his life
 had brought him here to me
 now it has all ended with my pistol
 with one cold shot into his head
 Tall Tom fell as Tall Tom died
 then tall was dead
