Once Upon a Time in the West Lyrics

These days everybody wants a cowboy

And I get the appeal

Who doesn't love a rebel in a wide open field?

Your tongue's tied like a lasso

His is silver as his gun

He'll wrangle the moon

And then he'll shoot out the sun

The only thing that he can't do is stay

But he'll tip his hat before he rides away

He'll come in guns blazing then

Leave you wild and craving him

He won't ride into the sunset

He'll be long gone before that

Mend your fence but leave you broken

Just enough so you're still hoping

That's him in the distance

But you haven't heard from him since

He left you in a cloud of dust

Guess this town wasn't big enough of us

That's the thing about cowboys

Sharp shooters don't miss

Anything or anyone

They just keep heading west

You'll never be his sidekick

You're not Bonnie and Clyde

When the sheriff comes to get you

He'll leave you behind

The only thing that he can't do is stay

But he'll tip his hat before he rides away

He'll come in guns blazing then

Leave you wild and craving him

He won't ride into the sunset

He'll be long gone before that

Mend your fence but leave you broken

Just enough so you're still hoping

That's him in the distance

But you haven't heard from him since

He left you in a cloud of dust

Guess this town wasn't big enough of us

One hand on his holster and a bounty on his head

I'm the only one who wants him who don't want him dead

The only thing quicker than his quickdraw was how

Fast my heart broke when I heard he left town

The only thing that he can't do is change

But he'll leave you with a promise of someday

Came in guns blazing then

Left me wild and craving him

He didn't ride into the sunset

He was long gone before that

Both of his guns still smoking

Years later I'm still hoping

I'll see him in the distance

But I haven't heard from him since

He left me in his cloud of dust

Guess this town wasn't big enough for both of us
