God's Gun

At the dawn of the New World
When the West was wild and overrun
Through the turmoil and struggle
A tale like no other under the sun
Here comes the legend of God's Gun

Them Clayton Boys were running wild
They'd robbed a bank and rode all night
At dawn hit Juno City
No mercy, no pity was shown

They hit Jenny's Saloon and soon
A card fight broke out
A knife was thrown to end a life
Jessie ran and fled the scene
The local priest then intervened
But was shot down and he hit the ground

Young Johnny, being the altar boy
Sought revenge and he knew how
Headed south to find Lewis
He knew he could get him on his side
Told Lewis how his brother died

Now Lewis in a fit of rage
Juno bound with Johnny's aid
Knew a trick for the Claytons
Mistaken, they'd think they'd seen a ghost
And so in robes, the Clayton Boys
Were Scared at the Sight
The priest had come to take their lives
One by one were taken down
The dust ran red, no mercy shown
Were taken down, down below

But rumours about some unknown son
Spread through Juno's walks and turns
It was Clayton and Jenny
"They'd spent one night together long ago?"
Poor Johnny, he had never known

So to the Desert Clayton fled
With Lewis chasing til the grave
By the ruins of a church Tower
A shot fired struck Clayton to the dust
And almost lost, a name was heard saying
"Johnny, my son, I've done much, I've done wrong
Just remember my son
No outlaw can outrun
God's Gun
