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
