Six Reasons Why
/Bell in the church tower chimes
Approximately five times
Howling winds
Bring someone strange
Lone devil on horseback
Blew into the old boomtown
Along with clouds of dust
The silent stranger
Possesses a pair of pistols,
A sackful of coins
And no name
All present and no past
His sights are set on
The local saloon
Wants to wet his whistle
After crossing the twin doors,
All welcome him
With empty arms
Frigid stares and mean mugs
Follow him to the counter
The stranger tosses two silver dollars
In front of the barkeep
Whispers for whiskey
The whole bottle
Six-man
Welcoming committee
Don't take kindly to
The new man in town
Don't like the way he looks
So they keep welcoming him
With open slurs
Drawn revolvers
The biggest bully
Fires first
Before his crew could
Get a shot in,
The silent stranger gives
Six reasons why
Cowards fall
Bleeding with the quickness
Fast draw
Pinpoint precision
Smoking gun
Slow walk
Out of the shithole saloon
More fools rush in
His airspace
Armed with revolvers
The stranger settles
That with the one law that
Matters more than the sheriff
And gives the foolish ones
Six reasons why
He shouldn't be fucked with
Six reasons why
New corpses lie in the dusty road, burnt
Cordite lingers in the afternoon air, hot
Spent shells lie at his feet, new
Work for a bored undertaker
It's those
Six reasons why
Solitary men made the West wild
Six reasons why
Scenes like this
Captivate us so
Revolt the weak at heart
