Lyrics
Wesley wanna gunsling
Wesley expresses a desire to be a gunslinger.
No his papa don't like that
Wesley's father disapproves of his son's choice.
But he knows one thing he said all his life he wanna kill a man say
Wesley has harbored a lifelong desire to kill a man.
Wesley turned 18
Wesley turns 18.
Bought himself a black round pistol
Wesley buys a black pistol for himself.
All them boys who wronged him he say I got a bullet for your heads yeah
Wesley intends to use the pistol for revenge against those who wronged him.
Papa cried he said no Wesley please don't shoot him dead
Wesley's father pleads with him not to shoot someone.
The Wesley I know would turn his head
Wesley's father believes Wesley would usually avoid violence.
So Wesley please don't
A plea for Wesley to reconsider and not shoot.
Shoot him dead
Reiteration of the plea not to shoot.
Just turn your head
Suggesting Wesley to turn away instead of shooting.
Don't shoot him dead
Repetition of the plea not to shoot.
Wesley didn't heed those words
Wesley ignores the pleas and leaves.
Walked on out of the backdoor
Wesley is indifferent to the consequences because he seeks revenge.
He don't give a shit no more because all he wants is his revenge yeah
Wesley is determined and no longer cares about the past.
Locked and loaded
Wesley is prepared with his gun.
Down the road he strode
He walks towards the person who made his life difficult.
Over to the house of he who made his life a living hell yeah
Heading to the house of the one who caused him pain.
Papa cried he said no Wesley please don't shoot him dead
Wesley's father pleads again not to shoot.
The Wesley I know would turn his head
Wesley's father believes Wesley wouldn't resort to violence.
So Wesley please don't
Another plea for Wesley to avoid shooting.
Shoot him dead
Repetition of the plea not to shoot.
Just turn your head
Suggesting to turn away instead of shooting.
Don't shoot him dead
Repetition of the plea not to shoot.
Wesley cocked his gun
Wesley prepares to shoot his target.
Pointed it at the boy so young
He points the gun at a young boy.
The boy he said don't shoot me dead
The boy pleads not to be shot, expressing remorse.
I never meant to bring you dread
The boy claims he didn't intend to cause Wesley harm.
Wesley didn't care one bit
Wesley disregards the boy's pleas.
He said now look man this is it
Wesley insists on carrying out the act despite the boy's words.
Just as he pulled the trigger yeah
Wesley pulls the trigger as the climax of his revenge.
Papa jumped in the firing line
Wesley's father intervenes and sacrifices himself.
Saved that boys life from Wesley's crime
Repetition of the father saving the boy's life.
Saved that boys life from Wesley's crime
Repetition of the father's heroic act.
Saved that boys life from Wesley's crime
Repetition emphasizing the father's sacrifice.
Saved that boys life from Wesley's crime
Reiteration of the father saving the boy's life.
Papa died because of Wesley's anger
Wesley's anger leads to his father's death.
He gave his life for a younger stranger
The father sacrifices himself for a younger person.
And Wesley cried because his own pa said
Wesley grieves for his father's sacrifice and regrets the act.
Don't shoot him dead
Repetition of the plea not to shoot.
Just turn your head
Suggesting to turn away instead of shooting.
Don't shoot him dead
Repetition of the plea not to shoot.
Ow
An exclamation or expression of pain.
Hey hey
A concluding expression, possibly indicating remorse or reflection.
