Calico Queen

Dust bowl
High noon
Hot sun
Down the backbone
Whiskey, yeah, you pull it
I can’t believe your right hand shook you in it

Ten steps plotted underneath my boots
A-takin’ my time just waitin’ on your

Fools gold
Yeah, she's a banshee
Gon’ catch yourself a cold with the cards you dealt me

Chamber stock full, all you need is two
One to stun me, the other to prove

Rumor has it you’re a gun-slinger
Bringin’ the broom-tail, black-strap, buffalo fire
Contract killer
Hidin’ between all the dreams of the calico queen

Breach-load
Goddamn
All these vultures are ready to eat again

Redheaded woman all pretty and proud
Kickin’ your way to this here town
One step left before ya shoot
Squeeze that trigger, girl

Rumor has it you're a gun-slinger
Bringing the broom-tail, black-strap, buffalo fire
Mmm, contract killer
Hidin' between all the dreams, yeah

Rumor has it you’re a dead ringer
Raisin’ the hair on the back of a gentleman’s neck
Sideways grinner
Hidin’ between the dreams of the calico queens

Yeah, Yeah, chamber stock full, all you need is two
One to stun me, the other to prove

You're a gun slinger, yeah
Mmm, hidin’ between all the dreams of the Calico Queens
