That makes you laugh long and loud
Die alone
With their old friend
Its not there in the gin
Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun?
Youre a coward, James
Remember Genie from the casino?
We miss you day and night
But it just aint right to take away the light
We cant let our hero
Remember Genie from the casino?
It wont be funny when they rat-a-tat-tat you down
Where lies your heart?
The boys from your gang are knocking whiskey back
Shes still awaiting in that big brass bed
Youre running away from humanity
Theyre only lonely for the life that they led
You left us to fight
The boys from your gang are knocking whiskey back
Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead
Its not there in the buckskin', baby
Youre running away from reality
Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead
Shes still awaiting in that big brass bed
You left town to live by the rifle
Theyre only lonely for the life that they led
With their old friend
