Song Description

Cowboy song about a stage ride to California with an assortment of characters

Lyrics

1. Well my name it does not matter, I am not from the West.
Been some places seen some faces, each one much like the rest.
Gotta job in California, pays good money to hear my song.
So I`m headed West instead of best be headed back where I belong.

2. Well the stage was far from crowded, as I took my seat inside.
There was beads of sweat runnin` down my neck, I was in for a bumpy ride.
The first Hombre that we pickedup, was dressed in black from head to tail.
He said I`m Lightnin` Bill I shoot to kill my guns they never fail.
Chorus:- I am just a stranger in these parts.
I dont know my Mobile from my Montana.
As you can see I am not packin` any lead.
Country Gentleman with a Piana.

3. Stopped to take on water, but the riverbed was dry
The Vultures started circlin`,and the sun was gettin` high.
Some Bandidos stole the horses, as we slept the night away.
My fingers itchy I`m gettin` restless Lightnin` Billy was heard to say.

4. He had to take it on someone,You can guess who was nearer his side.
As he took aim and pulled the trigger, I said you dont scare me Billy I lied.
Then came a clap of thunder, and appearring in a cloud of dust.
Came Chief Crazy Something and his daughter Baby Dumpling
They had come to rescue us
.
Chorus

5. I felt something touch the the top of my leg,
I looked down and nearly choked.
Little Baby Dumpling was sending out signals
and they sure as hell were`nt smoke.
I said Chief I have to tell you, your Beautiful Daughter has stolen my heart.
And I`d like to make a reservation, and a new life we will start.
