[Instrumental emotional long intro] [Intro] Sunrise paints the prairie gold Another dusty morning cold Beans on the fire, coffee strong and black No time for lookin' back Sun burns low on a painted sky Card game smoke in the Red Dog Inn One wrong glance and the table goes quiet ‘Cause the fastest hand just walked in Boot heels click and the floorboards listen Hat brim low, but his eyes see through Every outlaw’s ghost in this border town Knows that name, Lucky Luke. [Instrumental long solo] [Verse] Lucky Luke rides alone Fastest hand this side of hope Laughs at danger, tips his hat Leaves a trail and never looks back Lucky Luke rides on through Dust and trouble, straight and true If the town’s in need, he’ll see it through Then he’s gone Lucky Luke Lucky Luke, draws fast as thunder Smoke still hangs while they stand and wonder One clean shot, and the fear turns loose Down goes trouble to Lucky Luke (woah, Lucky Luke) Yeah, the West rides safe with Lucky Luke. [Instrumental long solo] [Verse 2] Dalton boys, they tried their hand Caused trouble all across the land But a blur of motion, a puff of smoke Their plans always broke Dalton brothers, thick as thieves Always plottin' 'neath the leaves Joe, he fumes and Jack, he sighs William, Averell, in their lies But Luke just grins, a knowing gaze Breaks their schemes in countless ways. [Instrumental long solo] [Verse 3] He don’t wait for thanks or parades in town Tips his brim, lets the brimline hide his frown Every showdown writes another lonely truth Peace for the people, but a long road for Luke He ain't got no home, no settled place Just the wind and sun upon his face A cigarette, a weary tune Underneath the desert moon He’s a legend whispered, far and wide With nowhere left for evil to hide. [Instrumental long solo] [Outro] Hat brim low Cigarette curled in the smoke He laughs at the sky Like he already heard the joke Lucky Luke rides on Past the edge of the map, out of view If your town sleeps quiet tonight You might owe that peace to Lucky Luke. [Instrumental long solo] [end]
