The Iron Rule

Verse 1

Empty desert dirt

Blue eyes cold as morning rain

Fingers twitching near the leather holster

Waiting for the clock to strike a chord

No law in these canyons

Only lead and longer shadows

Pre-Chorus

Dust on the denim

Wind through the pine

I don't need a witness

I just need time

Chorus

Six shooter sliding slow

Six shooter sliding slow

Sun goes down like a burning stone

Hardest man you ever known

Six shooter sliding slow

Verse 2

Riding out at dawn

Tobacco stained and teeth grit tight

Hat brim tilted like a warning sign

Steel beneath a wool poncho

They whispered of a phantom

I just looked them in the eye

Pre-Chorus

Gold in the canyon

Blood in the creek

Iron for the wicked

And none for the weak

Chorus

Six shooter sliding slow

Six shooter sliding slow

Sun goes down like a burning stone

Hardest man you ever known

Six shooter sliding slow

Bridge

Draw fast

Aim true

Leave fast

Draw fast

Aim true

Leave fast

Chorus

Six shooter sliding slow

Six shooter sliding slow

Sun goes down like a burning stone

Hardest man you ever known

Six shooter sliding slow
