Under the lights where we stand tall Nobody touches us at all Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without We're gonna take what's ours to have Spread the word throughout the land They say the bad guys wear black We're tagged and can't turn back You see us comin' And you all together run for cover We're takin' over this town Here we come, reach for your gun And you better listen well my friend, you see It's been slow down below, Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell Deed is done again, we've won Ain't talking no tall tales friend Cause high noon, your doom Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell Pillage the village, trash the scene But better not take it out on me Cause a ghost town is found Where your city used to be So out of the darkness and into the light Sparks fly everywhere in sight From my double barrel, twelve gauge, Can't lock me in your cage You see us comin' And you all together run for cover We're takin' over this town Here we come, reach for your gun And you better listen well my friend, you see It's been slow down below, Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell Deed is done again, we've won Ain't talking no tall tales friend Cause high noon, your doom Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell Here we come, reach for your gun And you better listen well my friend, you see It's been slow down below, Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell Deed is done again, we've won Ain't talking no tall tales friend Cause high noon, your doom Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell Step aside, we're the cowboys from hell
