All the glory and all the fame,
Must end in death, they're all the same
Hunting deadly men down,
Like rabid dogs from town to town.
Gunman Jack was drinking away,
He already had overextended his stay,
And just as he was paying,
That's when the sheriff called him out in the rain.
{1st Bridge
C - D - Dsus4 - D}
[Guitar Solo]
Gunman Jack strode
outside,
He showed his gun, he had nothing to hide,
The sheriff told him to yield,
The folks around cleared the killing field
He drew quickly and shot the sheriff's head,
His brains blew out, he was instantly dead,
Another faceless man died today,
Jack got on his horse and he rode away.
{2nd Bridge

{Refrain:
D5 - Dadd9 - D - Dsus4 - D x2
Ride Jack ride,
Once again you've gotta run and hide,
The hunters need to be satisfied
They'll be on your trail far and wide,
So run and hide
So run and hide
So run and hide . . .
You never meant to do what you did,
Falsely accused you ran and hid,
A legend famous and feared,
Dusty coat and a long wild beard
And now they know you in every town
Young guns hunger to hunt you down
You try to change your ways
But you know a bullet will end your days.
