Gunplay

Someone fires a deadly shot
The report echoes ’round the block
See what tragedy we got today
A fatal finalizer
A hand held organizer
Another sympathizer in the way

The horses and the men will pause
Wonder how to stop this gunplay

All around the courthouse square
Talk floats in the air
Gunplay
In history books and magazines
Films and cablescreens
Gunplay

The sheriff tries to take a stand
Lawbooks filling every hand
Meanwhile there is grand disarray
Mr. Jones keeps his concealed
He likes the feel of that blue-steel
He wants it unrevealed-stowed away

The horses and the men will pause
Wonder how to stop this gunplay

The preacher and the mourners keep
A place for those who weep
Gunplay
The hardware shows sell ’em cheap
Boot Hill stacks ’em deep
Gunplay

This gunplay
This gunplay
