James And The Cold Gun Lyrics

James, come on home
You've been gone too long baby
We can't let out hero
die alone
We miss you day and night
You left town to live by the
rifle
You left us to fight
But it just ain't right to take away the
light
(Chorus)
Remember Genie, from the casino
She's still a-waiting
in her big brass bed
The boys from your gang are knocking whiskey
back
'Till they get out of hand
And wish they were dead
They're only
lonely for the life they led
With their old friend
Ooh, James are you
selling your soul to a cold gun?
Where lies your heart?
It's not there in
the buckskin baby
It's not there in the gin that makes you laugh long and
loud
You're a coward James
Your running away from humanity
You're
running out on reality
It won't be funny when they
Rat-a-tat-tat you
down
(Chorus)
