"The Ballad Of Crafty Jack" lyrics - LONE STAR

You know I'm standing in the hallway, standing my ground
Waiting for the action with a gun in my hand
Gotta be cautious, gotta be cool
It's all gotta be so carefully planned

It's gotta be right and I'm a little bit scared
If it all goes wrong I could end up dead
Now's my chance to make my advance
And put a ball of fiery lead right between his eyes

I can see his right hand rising
I can see his six-gun gleaming
I can hear his bullet searing
I can feel the pain a'nearing

That man he drinkum my whiskey
Smokum my weed
Stole my woman and planted his seed
And now I'm on the run and I don't want to bleed

But I know he never missed
When he's gunning for greed
But now I'm running down the river
Trying to cover my tracks

I can feel him getting closer, his sight's on my back
I've got nothing to live for but I don't want to die
'Cause he's standing in the shadows
With the sun in my eyes
