Puttin' down my pistol
Swearin' off the drink
That kind of life isn't all you might think
Gonna try and do some good now
Before I'm laid to rest
I'm finally through with the wild wild west
Gonna saddle up my horse
I best be leavin' soon
I can't linger anywhere
Leastways this here saloon
I'm gonna get a new tattoo
That'll probably say it best
I'm finally through with the wild wild west
Sweet Mother, won't you say a prayer for me
I hope those sleepin' dogs'll let me be
No one'll cry a tear, but at least that's off my chest
I'm finally through with the wild wild west
I won't be back to visit
Not even for a day
I've had my share of emptiness and pain along the way
I'm not asking for permission
In case you might have guessed
I'm finally through with the wild wild west.
Sweet Mother, won't you say a prayer for me
I hope those sleepin' dogs'll let me be
No one'll cry a tear but I think that's for the best
I'm finally through with the wild wild west
I'm finally through with the wild wild west
