Tombstone (Wyatt Leaves Town)

Well I'm goin' down
To the old town
And when I get there
I'm layin' this old star down
When I get there, I'm layin' this old star down

'Cause I've been a law man
For long enough and
So I'm takin' off my six-shooters
It's time to rest my hands
Yeah I'm takin' off my six-shooters, it's time to rest my hands

'Cause I don't wanna be
The law here anymore
And I'm too tired of dealin'
With what it takes to wear this star
I'm gonna go be my own dealer
In a saloon far away
Be an honest man, make an honest man's pay

I said don't follow me
Countin' the old bodies
I'm cuttin' myself a new life
For my family
Said I'm cuttin' myself a new life, for my family

'Cause I don't wanna be
The law here anymore
And I'm too tired of dealin'
With what it takes to wear this star
I'm gonna go be my own dealer
In a saloon far away
Be an honest man, make an honest man's pay

I see my brothers cry
And there're tears in my own eyes
They don't know if I can do it,
If I can leave this all behind
I don't know if I can do it, if I can leave this all behind

But I don't wanna be
The law here anymore,
And I'm too tired of dealin'
With what it takes to wear this star
I'm gonna go be my own dealer
In a saloon far away
Be an honest man, make an honest man's pay.
