Sad Men Saloon Lyrics

Hey cowboy, where did you leave your horse?
There's no bullet in your gun.
It's a family affair between you and the bottle
Hidden under your hat,
Containing all your strength.

What happened cowboy?
You used to have the key to the city,
You made the girls dance in the breeze,
But the spurs on your boots have rusted
Like so many souvenirs.

When the main street clock will play its toll,
They'll count to ten, the wind will lift up the sand,
And the silence will break, the eyes will close,
The blood, your blood will turn cold.

Do you remember all the melodies you sang to your lady?
Singing: “Oh Betty, you're my baby,
We could live old in this place where no one knows.”

How did it feel Mr Cowboy when the bullet split the skin
In the middle of your head?
Was there a light, a tunnel and all your friends
Waiting for you at the end?
When the vultures gathered for the feast,
Your enemies started to sing in the streets.

Hey cowboy, where did you leave your horse?
There's a big hole in your hat.
You must wonder what's gone wrong,
I guess the story would be too long.
