Tonight when I ride outta here
they will curse this shotgun town
Where the whisky flows like water
and the law means nothing to anyone

I am headin’ for a showdown
and when the church-bell chimes nine times
There’s a crazy gamblers’ final bet
it makes the local undertaker smile
You wanted me to settle down, maybe raise a family
I remember that I said:"matrimony ain’t for me"

The only thing that you said was:
"lay down your star with your gun belt
and let me be your sweetheart
I don’t want you to get killed"

I can’t do without your kiss, 
I can’t do without your kiss
There’s no doin’ without your kiss

A fearless outlaw always lies
sweatin’ in his bed
While the guns are always loaded
under a pillow, under his head
And when the rooster calls one moment
at the final crack of dawn
Like the whistle from a long gone train
while the folks are gatherin’ around

I can’t do without your kiss, 
I can’t do without your kiss
There’s no doin’ without your kiss

And in the cathouse when we made it
You said: "I’m always yours for free"
After a day and night together
how in hell could I have disagreed

I can’t do without your kiss, I can’t do....
