Smokin' 45 (Alternative Version 1) (2019 Remaster)

I've seen the Badlands

I've held a whirlwind in my hand

Slept in the saddle

Whiskey has washed away the sand

Gamblers who cheated and sheriffs who lied

The last thing they saw from the dust as they died

My smokin' forty-five

My smokin' forty-five

Ten thousand dollars

That's what I'm worth, dead or alive

Six loaded chambers

Ten men rode up, not one survived

They got my name on the telegraph wire

Dead men's faces in a corner for hire

Gamblers who cheated and sheriffs who lied

The last thing they saw from the dust as they died

Was my smokin' forty-five

My smokin' forty-five

I'm ridin' south to the Mexico line

Posse behind me and they're makin' good time

Men with vendettas who shouldn't have tried

To reach for quick fame with a gun at their side

It's my smokin' forty-five

My smokin' forty-five

My smokin' forty-five

My smokin' forty-five

My smokin' forty-five

Will get you dead or alive

Gonna get you in the end

My smokin' forty-five
