I look over my shoulder
A donkey, a One Horse Town
Feet on my desk
Makes a change it’s just brown
And their mine for a change
My life maybe re-arrange
Wind coming in dry again
Woman following
Can I deny again
Why don’t you leave gal
Go somewhere that has some meaning for you Sal
I’m no use to you
Two guns on my hip
My life on one slip
And you dead in my bed
Find a highbrow
Find a lowbrow
Find a good bell
That doesn’t ring Hell
This badge rings
It might as well be tin
Find a good man Sal
My horse is my only Pal
Door swept the room
Sucking away the gloom
I left by the shack
There was no looking back
The peace of night is my old friend
I walk a lonely march
No-one hears me move
I don’t take any chance
I head for the mountain
Miles and miles away
Away from the shadows
Away from the rest of my day
If they spread me out
What else do I care
Making their claims on my body
Taking away my hair
What do my people do
That is different to that
They take away my soul
Even when I smell the rat
They take away my hair
So I’m old before my time
They take away my words
So my mind can’t even rhyme
Give me that golden sunset
Give me the crippled hill
And let me learn to live again
And not expect the bill

I hear the sound of drummers beat
Why is there never a retreat
I don’t wan’t bully beef
I just want a light relief
Major John at my back
Elfin at my front
Rifle lying across my arms
Escape a stupid stunt

Into the camp in blazing sun
Stupidy, your life’s begun
Found the water I wanted there
Saw the horses
Knew no care
In stupidy I forgot my creed
Forgot my life
And my bloody steed

I look over my shoulder
There is my women
I look ahead, sand
Beneath me, the one thing I trust
My horse
My guns sit silent now
And I ride on
The colour of green and yellow is the town
At least the wind has no bias
It just blows
Tumbleweed
I need to get out to the honesty of the land
And let my heart take it's time

It was a John Wayne and yes it would be nice to see some old westerns but it would have to be a romantic 'High Noon'.

Thanks

Always the longing for peace.
Very well rendered!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

Thanks everyone

I keep putting it together, ripping it apart wanted to rewrite it

I suppose I haven't got the heart

It is really a B movie though
