Well, Johnny Ace spun the chamber of his cowboy gun,
He was tired and weathered from the beatin' of the Texas sun.
Well he didn't even cry, stuck it in his eye,
Pulled the trigger and he said, "Bye bye."
Just another singer dammin' up the waters of life.
Blaze Storm, peeled in the fury of a Vegas bar,
While the howlin' dogs tried to clamor on a moon too far.
Nerval escaped - carrying a crow,
Told the people things they didn't wanna know.
Just another singer dammin' up the waters of life.
Well the story's of the young boy,
Born in the bible belt South.
Workin' hard on dyin' and always tryin',
To be a rock and roll Jesus with a cowboy mouth{1}.
Lets go!
