Shotgun and a Pistol
Epic Western Showdown: Shotgun, Pistol, and Fate
Lyrics
That mornin' a lady locked arms with a shotgun
A woman is holding a shotgun.
And the pistol rode west with the sun
A pistol is heading west.
Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever
The outlaws in Tombstone accept death as inherent to their lifestyle.
Know that death is the way of the gun
Death is a common occurrence due to gunfights.
They fought side by side, undefeated each time
They consistently win battles together.
Speed of their guns were the same
They are equally fast with their guns.
From dark city Kansas to wild Arizona
They travel from Kansas to Arizona, known across territories.
All outlaws alike knew their name
All outlaws recognize their reputation.
A shotgun, a pistol, known the world over as
The shotgun and pistol are famous weapons.
The two biggest guns in the west
Considered the biggest guns in the west.
But the whole town of Tombstone knew the friendship was shakin'
In Tombstone, doubts arise about their friendship.
And they wondered which one was the best
People question which gun is superior.
Only a shootout could settle the question
Only a gunfight can determine the better weapon.
That lay heavy on everyone's mind
The debate weighs heavily on everyone's thoughts.
Whiskey and loose talk and their love for a woman
Alcohol, gossip, and love lead to the inevitable showdown.
Made the shoot out a matter of time
A shootout becomes unavoidable.
That mornin' a lady locked arms with a shotgun
A woman wields the shotgun again.
And the pistol rode west with the sun
The pistol heads west once more.
Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever
The outlaws acknowledge the inevitability of death.
Know that death is the way of the gun
Death is a constant in their lifestyle.
The day of the doom had been set by the town
The town decides on the day of the showdown.
That lived up to it's blood-thirsty name
The town lives up to its violent reputation.
Some said the pistol, some said the shotgun
Opinions vary on which gun is better.
Some said the town was to blame
Blame is placed on the town for the inevitable confrontation.
But some outlaws named Clanton and the O.K Corral
Specific outlaws change the course of events.
Changed history and canceled the game
History is altered due to their actions.
When the shootout was over and the outlaws lay dyin'
After the shootout, outlaws lie dead.
Old Tombstone the silent was shamed
Tombstone becomes quiet and ashamed after the violence.
That mornin' a lady locked arms with a shotgun
The woman wields the shotgun again in the morning.
And a pistol rode west with the sun
The pistol heads west with the sun once more.
Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever
Outlaws understand that death is a part of their lifestyle.
Know death is the way of the gun
Death is acknowledged as inherent to their existence.
