[Verse]
BCowboys we are
ECowboys we shall always Bbe E
BDon’t let it end like this, boys
ETell ‘em I sense something? B E
[Verse]
They say Btrouble rides a fast horse E
They say forBgiveness rides a mule E
Oh Byeah, they say a lot of things
EThat’s why I lived by my own Brules E
[Verse]
You know a Bman is seen in fragments
A Escar, a limp, tattoos and broken Bteeth E
Scratch the Bsurface on most men out here
And Eyou’ll find two men hiding underBneath E
[Verse]
But I Bcome not here to lecture you
Of Egood and evil, black or white, Bright or wrong E
I’ve Bcome to sing my story
I'm the EBlack Jack, baby, of all those old Bgipsy songs E
[Verse]
A loose Bcanon, they have called me
A Ehalf-cocked cowboy, falling aBpart E
With my Bwar-bag full of cheap tricks
EDead certain, Bmister, of my F#hair trigger heart
[Chorus]
Oh baby, BI got a F#hair trigger Eheart B
I got a F#hair trigger Eheart
[Verse]
BI've known love from every angle
I Enever learned the art of the graceful Bgetaway E
Yeah, the Bpoetry eludes me, sir
I don’t Egive a damn what all the minor Bpoets say E
[Verse]
"I’m not an Balcoholic, I’m a drunk, there’s a difference
ESet 'em up, kid, and make it Bsmart" E
I come from Bhorse traders and half breeds
And a Esavage lBong line of F#hair trigger hearts, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh baby, BI got a F#hair trigger hEeart B
I got a F#hair trigger Eheart B
I got a F#hair trigger hEeart
[Bridge]
G#mAll the old gunfighters are D#mleaving town
G#mPistol packing C#mama, lay that F#pistol down
I’m Estill around
Lord, I've got Bone more round
And I sure F#hit the mark
With my hair Etrigger heart, yeah
[Instrumental]
B E B E B E B E
[Verse]
At the Bfar end of eternity, you will Efind me
At a pub they call The BSword 'n' HighwaymanE
I'll have a Bwax museum moustache
Might be Emissing several fingers on myB trigger hand E
[Verse]
I’ll have forBgotten half the alphabet
My Ename, my age, my Chinese Blaundry mark E
Between Binstinct and oblivion, mister
EI will always Bhang on to this F#hair trigger heart
[Chorus]
Oh baby, BI got a F#hair trigger Eheart B
I got a F#hair trigger Eheart B
I got a F#hair trigger Eheart B
I got a F#hair trigger Eheart
[Outro]
