Man in Red Gather around me my good friends 'cause I got a tale to tell About a man who shot me once, and this wound still feels like hell I was riding high after a wild night, and I saw a man in red And I told him hey, you're in my way, and he said you're good as dead He was mean, part machine, his shotgun thunder burst His lead hit home, I hit the dirt, even though I drew first Now He'd won the gunplay, all in fair play, but I had to know Why this man wore crimson, red from head to toe Now I was bleeding out, and the man in red, said boy you listen close And I'll tell youm the genesis of the color of my choice He said When I was young, my daddy took me to a bullring far from town To man me up and make me tough, so I'd never back down I saw the bull's eyes after he saw the cape blood red I knew right then, the hue for which I'd been born and bred So heed my warning, avoid this man, good night and so long You can forget about the singer, but don't forget the song |
