7. Modern Day Cowboy (5:19)
Stormy night
Under jet-black skies
Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolled
And the lightning bolts
Come crashin' to the ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose
Bang bang, shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away
Al Capone
And the Bad Boy Jones
On the wrong side of the law
Johnny D
And his company
Always first to the draw
Gangster lean
Feelin' so mean
Tryna take more than their share
'Cause all they saw
Was ruling it all
The scent of blood was in the air
Bang bang, shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away
So here we are
And we've come this far
But it's only getting worse
Foreign lands
With their terrorist demands
Only cause the good to hurt
The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R. with their six-guns to the side
I see the message written on the wall. Too much anger deep inside
Bang bang, I shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Oh, come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away
It's a showdown!
Under jet-black skies
Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolled
And the lightning bolts
Come crashin' to the ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose
Bang bang, shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away
Al Capone
And the Bad Boy Jones
On the wrong side of the law
Johnny D
And his company
Always first to the draw
Gangster lean
Feelin' so mean
Tryna take more than their share
'Cause all they saw
Was ruling it all
The scent of blood was in the air
Bang bang, shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away
So here we are
And we've come this far
But it's only getting worse
Foreign lands
With their terrorist demands
Only cause the good to hurt
The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R. with their six-guns to the side
I see the message written on the wall. Too much anger deep inside
Bang bang, I shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day
Oh, come on, sundown
Don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away
It's a showdown!
