Lawman
Recorded by Billy Walker
Written by Bob Tubert, Billy Walker, Dave Estes

C F
They sent me out from Santa Fe to try and find his trail
C G7
They think that I'm the only one who can bring him back to jail
C F
This star says I'm a lawman this gun has seen me through
C G7 C
And though my heart is heavy I've got a job to do

F C
You see he's such a proud man who never learned to crawl
G7
But a good man turn gun slinger is the meanest man of all
C F
He killed the US Marshall and for that he's gonna pay
C G7 C
And I'm the lonely lawman who's on his trail today

F
There was a time he fought for truth and on the side of right
C G7
Until the only girl he loved was killed one faithful night
C F
I know his heart was shattered as he turned the barren sod
C G7 C
And laid away her body commending it to God

F C
Then he vowed a vengeance to those who took her life
G7
And every notch upon his gun a tear shed for his wife
C F
But vengeance is like wild fire sweeping through the wood
C G7 C
It turns reason into ashes and it burns out all the good

F C
Now I can't help but remember as I trail this lonesome man
G7
I don't believe while we were boys I won any race we ran
C F
For you see his face resembles mine we talk somewhat the same
C G7 C
And though we walk in different worlds we both wear our daddy's name
