Lyrics

Hook

High noon at the booth and the spurs go clink

(tick tock)

Fastest drop in the West so you'd better not blink

Six channels loaded and my finger on the fade

(reach)

Draw on the downbeat and the debt gets paid

(whoo)

Verse

A stranger in a poncho slid up to the decks

Bragging about the dancefloors that he wrecks

Tipped down his hat with a squint and a sneer

Said there's only one sound that's allowed around here

I patted my holster where the USB sits

Twelve rounds loaded and they're nothing but hits

(try me)

Hook

High noon at the booth and the spurs go clink

(tick tock)

Fastest drop in the West so you'd better not blink

Six channels loaded and my finger on the fade

(reach)

Draw on the downbeat and the debt gets paid

(whoo)

Baritone Guitar Solo

Verse

Dancers split apart like a canyon in two

The barkeep ducked down and the bouncer did too

He fumbled his cue and his intro went flat

I dropped a cold acid that knocked off his hat

(yee-haw)

Tumbleweed rolled where his fans used to stand

I blew on my stick like it smoked in my hand

Breakdown

Hoo-wee

Hoo-wee-oo

Verse

Sun dipped low and the saloon doors swung

A new challenger rode in with a wagon of drums

She wore two belts and a frown like a brand

Said I hear there's a spinner who runs this land

I tipped up my hat and I gave her a grin

Well the booth's still warm so you'd better step in

(step in)

Pre-Chorus

Saddle up, sister, cause the sun ain't kind

(no it ain't)

Every record that you spin is a bullet you signed

(signed)

Hook

High noon at the booth and the spurs go clink

(tick tock)

Fastest drop in the West so you'd better not blink

Six channels loaded and my finger on the fade

(reach)

Draw on the downbeat and the debt gets paid

(whoo)

Post-Chorus

Yip-yip-yippee-ki-yay

(yee-haw)

Yip-yip-yippee-ki-yay

(whoo whoo)

Yip-yip-yippee-ki-yay

(yee-haw)

Spin it or hang it, there's no other way

(no other way)

Baritone Guitar Solo

Verse

We traded four bars and she swung like a snake

Took my best transition and she didn't even shake

Crowd started hollering, boots on the planks

She pulled out a whistle and she cut through the ranks

(hoo-wee)

I reached for my last trick, a dusty old tape

Slapped it down sideways and I sealed my own fate

(fate)

Hook

Hats in the air and the dancers all roar

(yee-haw)

Two spinners standing and we're calling for more

Trading the decks like a duel in the dust

(adios)

Last one spinning is the one that they trust

(whoo) (whoo)

Bridge

So we shook on the bar and we split the night even

Two queens of the turntables, one west, one heathen

She rode off at dawn with my whistle and pride

But she left me her beat and I wear it outside

(wear it)

Whistle

(hoo) (hoo)

The sun goes down but the booth don't close

(tick tock)

The sun goes down but the booth don't close

(whoo)
