At last the town's on fire and I'm on my way
You heard that before, I know
A lonely gun for hire with nowhere to stay
You heard that before, I know
And what about my princess, the one I left behind
You heard that before, I know
She's maybe someone's mistress course she's far too kind
You heard that before, I know

I know you heard this before
Even though I act like a whore
I think you're a bore
I won't tell you in letters anymore

We shared a dream of armies marching hand in hand
You heard that before, I know
No fingers on the trigger, no leaders no land
You heard that before, I know
Forgive me for trying, I know I said I'll quit
You heard that before, I know
But I'm forced to give my all, when no one gives a shit
You heard that before, I know
