Liberty Valance Lyrics - Burt Bacharach

When Liberty Valance rode to town 

The women folk would hide, they'd hide 

When Liberty Valance walked around 

The men would step aside 

Because the point of a gun 

Was the only law that Liberty understood 

When it came to shootin' straight and fast 

He was mighty good 

From out of the East a stranger came 

A law book in his hand, a man 

The kind of a man the West would need 

To tame a troubled land 

'Cause the point of a gun 

Was the only law that Liberty understood 

When it came to shootin' straight and fast 

He was mighty good

Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall 

The man who shot Liberty Valance 

He shot Liberty Valance 

He was the bravest of them all 

The love of a girl can make a man 

Stay on when he should go, stay on 

Just trying to build a peaceful life 

Where love is free to grow 

But the point of a gun 

Was the only law that Liberty understood 

When the final showdown came at last 

A law book was no good 

Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd 

Return that fateful night, ah, that night 

When nothing she said could keep her man 

From going out to fight

The very first thing she learns 

When two men go out to face each other 

Only one returns 

Everyone heard two shots ring out 

One shot made Liberty fall 

The man who shot Liberty Valance 

He shot Liberty Valance 

He was the bravest of them all 

The man who shot Liberty Valance 

He shot Liberty Valance 

He was the bravest of them all
