Once
Upon 
A Time
Out in the West
Before it was won
There existed a lonely man
And his gun, and his gun

But what is one man to do 
With only a gun
For a friend
Though it stood by him
Each day and night 
To the end, to the end

He said this ain’t no way to live
All of this taking is never gonna give
Everyday I’m riding around
And the sun’s getting hot
The sun’s getting hot

Burned a town to the ground
With only a magnifying glass
All of them scurrying around
Like little ants
Cuz that’s what they were

A hat too big for his head
And boots that were only pretend
Were the solitary things
That gave him a chance
To be somewhere else

He said this ain’t no way to live
All of this taking is never gonna give
Everyday I’m riding around
And the sun’s getting hot
The sun’s getting hot
