Lyrics
Stormy night Under jet-black skies Billy pulls into town Thunder rolled And the lightning bolts Come crashin' to the ground Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose Bang bang, shoot 'em up Bang bang, blow you away It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day Come on, sundown Don't be hangin' 'round 'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away Al Capone And the Bad Boy Jones On the wrong side of the law Johnny D And his company Always first to the draw Gangster lean Feelin' so mean Tryna take more than their share 'Cause all they saw Was ruling it all The scent of blood was in the air Bang bang, shoot 'em up Bang bang, blow you away It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day Come on, sundown Don't be hangin' 'round 'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away So here we are And we've come this far But it's only getting worse Foreign lands With their terrorist demands Only cause the good to hurt The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R. with their six-guns to the side I see the message written on the wall. Too much anger deep inside Bang bang, I shoot 'em up Bang bang, blow you away It's a showdown in the no man's land for the cowboy of the modern day Oh, come on, sundown Don't be hangin' 'round 'Cause the cowboy'll blow you away It's a showdown!
