Lyrics

 

In the frontier

Old Hec Ramsey’s been there

Commanding the bad man’s respect for the law.

Too many men tried to make sure he’d die there

But Hec was a split second quicker to draw.

Where did he come from?

And where is he goin’?

Everythings changin’,

where will it end?

 

A place in the sun for

A man and a gun

he’d rather not use like a trusty old friend.

 

Hec Ramsey once drew first and asked questions later

but those days are gone now

and some of his youth.

With civilization came a new realization

the one most important thing a search for the truth.

 

A place in the sun for

A man and a gun

he’d rather not use like a trusty old friend.
