High Noon

(album: The World Needs Heroes, Vol. 1 - 2016)

I was living on the wild side
Born west of the Great Divide
I made a living outside the law
You'd best run and hide when I say "draw"

Never wore a white hat in the Deadlock gang
If I didn't straighten up, I was bound to hang
I learned to ride with Blackwatch pride
Still living on the wild side

CAN'T SHOOT ME DOWN, CAN'T STOP ME NOW
I'LL RIGHT THE WRONGS OF THE PAST SOMEHOW
AIN'T GOT NO RICHES, NO SILVER SPOON
WHEN YOU SEE ME COMIN' INTO YOUR SALOON
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS...

We had a civil war and the family split,
Wasn't bout to pick sides, didn't wanna commit so
I took the next train home to Santa Fe

I'm a gun for hire, I'm a renegade
But I stick to justice and I won't be swayed
Looking for redemption from all my wicked ways

CAN'T SHOOT ME DOWN, CAN'T STOP ME NOW
I'LL RIGHT THE WRONGS OF THE PAST SOMEHOW
AIN'T GOT NO RICHES, NO SILVER SPOON
WHEN YOU SEE ME COMIN' INTO YOUR SALOON
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS...
IT'S HIGH NOON

It feels like I'm back from the dead
I'm staying one step ahead
I'll keep the peace, and they'll fear my name
If you step outside the law,
Then y'all know I'm taking aim...

CAN'T SHOOT ME DOWN, CAN'T STOP ME NOW
I'LL RIGHT THE WRONGS OF THE PAST SOMEHOW
AIN'T GOT NO RICHES, NO SILVER SPOON
WHEN YOU SEE ME COMIN' INTO YOUR SALOON
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS...
IT'S HIGH NOON
