[Verse 1] Empty street Swinging doors breathe dust Bootheels Echo like a ghost of trust Tin star Pinned above a tired heart One hand Shaking where the shadows start [Chorus] Gunfighter soul in a marshal’s coat Justice tastes bitter in a dry throat Every grave on this hill knows my name Dust on the star badge Blood on the last page I walk alone with the weight of that aim [Verse 2] Wanted posters Curl along the jailhouse wall Your face Smiles like it never fell at all I said “Lay it down, we can both ride home” You laughed Reached slow, like you carved it in stone [Chorus] Gunfighter soul in a marshal’s coat Justice tastes bitter in a dry throat Every grave on this hill knows my name Dust on the star badge Blood on the last page I walk alone with the weight of that aim [Bridge] Moon over Main Street, pale and thin Wind hums your nickname through the cottonwood limbs I holster my hand, but it never feels clean Every draw I survived Took a piece out of me [Chorus] Gunfighter soul in a marshal’s coat Justice tastes bitter in a dry throat Every grave on this hill knows my name Dust on the star badge Blood on the last page I walk alone with the weight of that aim I walk alone with the weight of that aim
