Bellamy Brothers Livin In The West Lyrics

Livin In The West Lyrics

(1)John Wesley Harding shot a man for snoring, killed him in the bed right where
he lay,

Took a snort of whisky and went back to his sleepin, Rode out
before they found him the next day,

(2)Now the brothers Frank and Jesse,
No-one could be more fearsome, 

They robbed the trains and rode in the
outlaw gangs,

The civil war was over but still they fought for Dixie,

And legend has their last name to be James.

Chorus

Livin in the
west must have been the best, Must have been the greatest time of all.

Me
I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least

But I never saw those
sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls



(3)Little William Bonney,
Billy the Kid they called him, Had to use a six-gun to survive,

He bit the
dust at twenty-one but he left a reputation, A notch for every year he was
alive

Chorus

(4)Now the frontier days are over for William Frank
and Jesse, And a thousand other bad guys of their day,

But they still
live on in stories and I hope they live forever,And to sum it up here is all
that I want to say    (Chorus)
