lyrics

When I was young
Less than five
I had the same dream
Each and every night
A shadowed face
Lay my world to waste
When I was young
Less than five

A man in black
Changed my life
A silver six gun
He rode at night
He killed my kin
And made me watch ‘em die
A man in black
Changed my life

I grew up quick
Against my will
All the world’s charms
Could not fill
That aching hole
Deep in my heart
I grew up quick
Against my will

My heart was fire
And my nerve was ice
The money was good
And the women were nice
I killed any man
Who made me tell him twice
My heart was fire
and my nerve was ice

Then on an Atchison Train
I spied that gun
I put three holes in him
before the coward could run
I shot him three more times in the Kansas sun
on an Atchison Train
I spied that gun
