Looking down the long barrel of a .45
See his whole life in a moment
Go flashing by
He's still alive
He's ready to fight
He's still standing tall
With a will to survive
It seems like forever
The seconds go by
Sweat on his brow and the sun in his eye
He's still alive
He needs to be strong
In the deafening silence there's a loud ricochet
In the badlands, oh~
You only need a gun to survive
In the badlands, oh~
Only the strong will survive
There's another face down in the burning sand
Spent a whole life in a moment a winning hand
He's still alive
To fight another day
And that's all he knows for him there's no other way
With a price on his head
With a gun at his side
The chamber is empty
There's nothing inside
He's still alive
Ready to fall
The man with no name
No feelings at all
In the badlands, oh ~
You only need a gun to survive
In the badlands, oh~
You only need a gun to survive
And only the strong will survive
~solo~
He's still alive
He's ready to fight
And that's all he knows
For him there's no other way
In the badlands, oh~
You only need a gun to survive
In the badlands, oh~
You only need a gun
In the badlands, oh~
You only need a gun to survive
In the badlands, oh~
You only need a gun to survive
And only the strong will survive
