Theme

A song with a distinctive Western/cowboy theme, revolving around the life of an outlaw or wandering gunslinger. It focuses on the relentless urge to travel (**wanderlust**) and the lonely existence of facing constant threats and challenges on the road.

Lyrics
As sure as the sun rises in the east Another gunman will come seeking my defeat Will he be as fast as me, are his nerves quiet and still Will he fall like all the rest ending his days upon boothill I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone As I ride into the sunset to take another town Thank you for the invite, but I just can't settle down The dust that coats my hat is from a dozen towns Dust from shooting down another dozen clowns I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone A drum beats for me, it's louder every day The cadence tells me that soon I'll meet My judgment day, my judgment day My judgment day, my judgment day My judgment day, my judgment day My judgment day, my judgment day My judgment day, my judgment day My judgment day, my judgment day My judgment day, my judgment day A drum beats for me, it's louder every day The cadence tells me that soon I'll meet my judgment day Life's an endless showdown never knowing when they'll come I sleep with one eye open lying with my smoking gun My smoking gun The game I play has caused a lot of grief They were dying for fame, so I obliged them some relief I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone I'm an outcast with lightning in my hand I got wanderlust lost in no man's land I'm an outcast with lightning in my hand I got wanderlust lost in no man's land I'm an outcast with lightning in my hand I got wanderlust lost in no man's land I got a lust for wandering lost in no man's land I got wanderlust
