Livin In The West Lyrics - Bellamy Brothers

John Wesley Harding shot a man for snoring 

Killed him in the bed right where he lay 

He took a snort of whisky and went back to his sleepin 

Rode out before they found him the next day, 

Now the brothers Frank and Jesse, No-one could be more fearsome 

They robbed the trains and rode in the outlaw gangs 

The civil war was over but still they fought for Dixie 

And legend has their last name to be James. 

Chorus: 

Livin' in the west must have been the best 

Must have been the greatest time of all 

Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least 

But I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls.

Little William Bonney, Billy the Kid they called him 

Had to use a six-gun to survive 

He bit the dust at twenty-one but he left a reputation 

A notch for every year he was alive. 

Chorus: 

Livin' in the west must have been the best 

Must have been the greatest time of all 

Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least 

'Cause I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls. 

And now the frontier days are over for William Frank and Jesse 

And a thousand other bad guys of their day 

But they still live on in stories and I hope they live forever 

And to sum it up here is all that I want to say. 

Chorus: 

Livin' in the west must have been the best 

Must have been the greatest times of all 

Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least 

'Cause I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls.
