lyrics

I was born on a bedroll in the sand, by the time that I could walk I had a pistol in my hand,
And b y the time that I was speaking papa counted me a man, and I did that devils bidding there at… daddies right hand,
We’d roam across the land, taking all that we could see, I didn’t ever fear no evil cause the devil rode with me,
Til one day me and poppa, we spied prey out on the land, we cut down two peasant lovers and left their seed out in the sand,

(Chorus)

And that,
Boys how it’s done,
When you're living by the gun, you stand and you don’t run,
You can’t trust anyone,
God speed be on your side, If not you’re gonna die, my son this ain’t no lie.


My father told me boy your word it best be pure as gold,
And mama said do good so that the Lord will keep my soul,
But I watched my saintly mother, and my cattle driving dad, get gunned down by two madmen left to bleed out on the land

From that day on I trained and started living by the gun, so I could make men pay for all the evil that they’ve done,
For years layed down the law then finally found them on the range,
Read them last rights then shot those motherfuckers in the face,

(Chorus)

And that’s,
Just how it’s done,
Living by the gun, Stand and you don’t run,
You can’t trust anyone,
God speed be on your side, If not you’re gonna die,

And that’s,
Just how it’s done,
When living by the gun, you stand and you don’t run,
You can’t trust anyone,
God speed be on your side, If not you’re gonna die,
