The Sheriff (2015 Remaster)

Big kid Josie rode away in the sunset covered sky

A lynching mob had strung his friend up right before his eyes

He didn't know what they'd both done

He sure as hell would end up hung

Or help to notch the sheriff's gun

If he didn't move on, get out of here

The sheriff followed Josie's trail from Kansas City, west

He said he'd put a bullet right through poor old Josie's chest

But Josie wasn't like the rest

He don't like bullet holes in his vest

In fact, he'd do his very best

Don't want any arrest

Don't wanna be the guest of the sheriff

The nights got so damn cold, he couldn't stand the pace

He looked again for sheriff's men, but couldn't see a trace

Josie found a nice, warm place

But then the sheriff solved the case

Poked a gun in Josie's face

And said, "Looky here"

Sheriff rode him into town with Josie looking sad

He didn't know about the six gun big kid Josie had

Then Josie drew his gun real fast

Gave the sheriff one big blast

Now Josie runs the town, at last

A legend from the past

Nobody ever messed with the sheriff
