The Gunslinger and the Lawman

By Craig Whitley
0:00 / -0:00

[intro]
[12-string acoustic guitars, ocarinas, chanting, bells, trumpets, jaw harp, violins, strings]

[Verse 1]

Dust in his wake, sun at his back
Young gunslinger on a crooked track.
Two brothers locked in a rusted cell,
He swore to break ’em out of hell.

[Verse 2]

The saloon doors creaked, the crowd stepped aside
Steel in his eyes, no place to hide
He said, “Where’s the sheriff? Bring him to me
I’ll set my family free”

[Chorus]

But Wyatt Earp stands tall, unshaken
Justice ain’t for the takin’
“You’ll meet the law before you meet your kin
Draw your iron—let this fight begin”

[Verse 3]

The young one laughed, his hand near his side
“You’re just a man, and I’ve got pride
I’ll take my shot, I’ll claim my due
My brothers wait, and I’ll see it through”

[Verse 4]

Wyatt tipped his hat, his gaze stayed calm
A storm in his eyes, a steady palm
He said, “Kid, you don’t know the price of sin
But you’ll pay it now—let this gunfight begin”

 

 

[Pre-Chorus / Bridge]

The clock struck noon, shadows fell
Silence thick as a chapel bell
The kid’s hand twitched, a flash of fire
But Wyatt’s Colt was swift, precise—entire

[Verse 5]

Smoke curled thin on the western breeze
The crowd stood still, kids on their knees.
Two brothers wept in the county jail
The law stood firm, it would not fail

[Final Chorus]

For Wyatt Earp stood tall, unshaken
Justice ain’t for the takin’
“You’ll meet the law before you meet your kin
Draw your iron—but the law must win”

[Outro]
[Guitars, ocarinas, chanting, bells, trumpets, jaw harp]

Dust in his wake, sun at his back,
The legend rode on, no need to look back.
