Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Frontier town, home of the western hero
Frontier justice, dealt with the iron hand
[Verse 2]
He wore a long coat to the ground
He wore big boots that made a sound
He wore a six gun on his hip
But now he doesn't carry it
[Verse 3]
Sure enough, he was a western hero
On the deck, sighting an old Jap Zero
[Verse 4]
And on the shores at Normandy
He fought for you, he fought for me
Across the land and on the sea
But now he's just a memory
[Verse 5]
And in the distance, the rocket's red glare
The bombs burst in the air
This time we're never going back
[Verse 6]
Through the years, he changed somehow
He's different now, he's different now
[Verse 7]
Open fire, here comes the western hero
Standing there, big money in his hand
Sure enough, he was a western hero
Sure enough
