HE WAS A GOOD MAN
Music & lyrics by RWGathman (BMI)

SONG LYRICS:

He was a Good Man honest and true
Livin’ hard along the Texas range
Yes, a Good Man doin’ all that he knew
Workin’ for a better day

She was a Good Gal
In love with the man she called her very own
Just a new bride in that west Texas land
Never meant be alone

He was a Bad Man wanted dead or alive
Chased across the Texas plain
Through the Badlands desperate to survive
Ridin’ hard to getaway

When that Bad Man stole the lady away
Said, I’m takin’ you for my own
But that Good Man drew his side arm and said
“You better leave my woman alone”

Standin’ by her side fightin’ for his bride
Fearless as the western wind
Good can win the day love will find a way
He’s a Good Man to the end

Now that Bad Man drew his Colt 45
Unloaded a barrage of flame
But that Good Man stared him straight in the eye
And returned his fire with deadly aim

As that Bad Man fell to the ground
A single shot had found its home
But that Good Man lay dyin’ in the dust
Told you, "Leave my woman alone"

Fightin’ for his bride dyin’ by her side
Fearless as the western wind
A Good Man’s lost love will pay the cost
He’s a Good Man to the end

He was a Good Man true to the last
Her hero bold and brave
Yes, a Good Man on the west Texas flats
Where they laid him in his Texas grave

And she’s a Good Gal still in love with the man
Livin’ in their Texas home
She’s on her own now in that west Texas land
Forever more to be alone

He was a Good Man
He was a Good Man
He was a Good Man
He was a Good Man
