I can't do without your kiss (4.23)

(published by Bouncin' Balls)
(G. Kooymans / B. Hay)

Tonight when I ride outta here
They're gonna curse this shotgun town
Where the whiskey flows like water
& the law means nothin' to anyone
I'm headin' for a showdown
And when the churchbell chimes nine times
There's a crazy gamblers' final bet
Makes the local undertaker smile..

You wanted me to settle down
Maybe raise a family
I remember that I said:
Matrimony ain't for me...

The only thing that you said was:
Lay down your star & your gunbelt..
And let me be your sweetheart
I don't want you to get killed

Ref.:
I can't do without your kiss (2x)
There's no doing without your kiss..

A fearless outlaw always lies
Sweatin' in his bed
While the guns  re always loaded
Under a pillow - under his head
And when the rooster calls one moment
At the final crack of dawn
Just like the whistle from a long gone train
While the folks  re gatherin' around

Ref.:

And in the cathouse when we made it
You said I'm always yours for free
After a day and night together
How in hell could I have disagreed?

Ref.:
