Don't You Come Around Here No More
LYRICS
A man rides a horse with an ounce of lead Carrying a shovel to bury his dead He pulls out his gun and they fall to the floor Good God don't you come around here no more
He rides through the dust to a band of thieves As the dead man's wife falls to her knees She howls like a child and prays to the Lord Good God don't you come around here no more
The sheriff walks in and looks at the floor He sees the still-swinging saloon door He looks to the sky and clenches his fists "I told 'em not to come around here no more"
He tears out chasing the bandit's flight Riding harder and harder in the failing light He sees a flash and a missile crack Good God don't you come around here no more
He sees his quarry run from the house He sets off after them quiet as a mouse He doesn't know now that he's walking to a trap Good God he won't come around here no more
Bullets rain down from every side The sheriff has nowhere left to hide His dying words are filled with pride "Good God don't you come around here no more"
