[Verse 1] Out past the river bend Where the mesquite leans low They still talk in hushed-up tones 'Bout a man no one knows Boots on a red dirt road Knife mark in his grin If you brought him cheap talk You were leaving with a scar on your chin [Pre-Chorus] He don't bow He don't fold He was carved from iron And left in the cold [Chorus] He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He don't take no shit He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He was born for it When the whole west calls his name You best step back, boy He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He don't take no shit [Verse 2] At the dry-gut saloon He'd stand by the door One eye on the dice One hand on the floor Sheriff said, "Move along" He just laughed and lit his stare Then the room went quiet Like a storm had slept in there [Pre-Chorus] He don't bow He don't fold He was carved from iron And left in the cold [Chorus] He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He don't take no shit He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He was born for it When the whole west calls his name You best step back, boy He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He don't take no shit [Bridge] They buried his trail in dust They buried his name in flame But every crooked man out there Still fears that same old shame [Final Chorus] He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He don't take no shit He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He was born for it When the whole west calls his name You best step back, boy He is the Payne Killer, (Payne Killer) He don't take no shit [Outro] Don't cross his path or he'll kick your ass. Uh Huh!
