How the West Was 'One'

One Shot One Horse One Sun One Sun Riding out at the break of dawn A lone cowboy, no name, a dusty pawn Tumbleweeds rollin, the silence is deafening Out here in the west, it's time for a reckoning Bullets flyin, the dust fills the air Outlaws waitin' with a narrow stare Can't tell if it's a showdown or a final dance But I'm drawin' my six-shooter, takin' one last chance Hold my breath as I count to three Outlaw starin' straight through me The west was wi-wild, now it's all but done This was how the west was 'one Yeah, how the west was 'one Ridin' hard through the canyon's bend No partner, no posse, just me in the end The saloon doors swing, they're waitin' inside But I ain't backin' down, got nothin' to hide The sun is settin, the night's growin' cold One last stand, my time to be bold Can't escape the dark fate I've spun This is how the west was 'one Hold my breath as I count to three Outlaw starin' straight through me The west was wi-wild, now it's all but done This was how the west was 'one Yeah, how the west was 'one Yeah, how the west was 'one Whiskey in my flask, a prayer on my lips Memories of cattle drives, moonlit trips One last ride, no time to run This is how the west was 'one Hold my breath as I count to three Outlaw starin' straight through me The west was wi-wild, now it's all but done This was how the west was 'one Yeah, how the west was 'one Yeah, how the west was 'one One shot fired under the setting sun That's how the west - was 'one
