Peacemaker lyrics

As the sun sets I ride

With my pistol by my side

I know I'll survive tonight

Like dust in the wind

I'm restless with no end

I'll find the man who sinned

Death heavy on my mind

The wounds will heal in time

My strength will win the fight

The sun begins to rise

Rode in town with a loaded gun

My face is burnt and I'm on the run

The whole damn town won't look me in the eye

Took a seat at the local saloon

Piano man playin' outta tune

A shot of whisky to wash away the pain

Raise my head the man is staring at me

I grind my teeth my heart quickly beats

I make my move 'cause it's time for him to pay

He stands and tries to ghost himself away

I quickly follow I can't hesitate

My trigger finger's telling me he's got to die

[Chorus]

I shot my gun he had to pay the final price

One man down many more to go

I'm justified I just need to settle the score

They'll never take my peacemaker away

Grab my steed and I'm set to ride

I gotta move or they'll catch my hide

I'm only free with the blood I've left behind

I make my journey across the dusty plains

I got a plan to cure my sorrow and pain

The smoke clears and I live to see the day

[Chorus]

I shot my gun he had to pay the final price

One man down many more to go

I'm justified I just need to settle the score

They'll never take my peacemaker away

I shot my gun he had to pay the final price

One man down many more to go

I'm justified I just need to settle the score

They'll never take my peacemaker away
