WARNING BELL

 

Come on I'm going out West

With my vest and my gun

I want to run

Out to where the people act friendly

Felt a little pain in my chest

And I don't know what it's from

But I know what it's for

It's to issue out a warning bell

 

Strangers I see

Only tell me you're not ready

They say surely you got one or two miles you just can’t tell

But tell me

Of the people you've known

How many passed on were ready

How many heard the shot,

How many got a warning bell?

 

Guess I'd better tell Luanne

She's the best thing that happened to me

But she found a job and I found God in the city

Oh my, most people I find don't take the time to understand me

And I’m going away

 

Faces I see would only tell me you're not ready

They say surely you've got one or two miles you just can’t tell

But tell me

Of the people you've known

How many passed on were ready

How many heard the shot

How many get a warning bell

How many heard the shot

How many got a warning bell

How many heard the shot

How many got a warning bell
