[00:00:00] Pride and the Badge - Marty Robbins

[00:00:01] Written by：Marty Robbins

[00:00:08] All night long I tried to sleep but sleep refused to come

[00:00:15] Cause today I knew I'd either have to fight or run

[00:00:23] Knowin' if I choose to run my mind would never rest

[00:00:30] Cause with so much pride I wear this badge upon my vest

[00:00:40] Folks are filled with fear because there's three bad guns in town

[00:00:47] Sheriff Olsen made the wrong move and they shot him down

[00:00:55] One they called Dakota Jack and one El Paso Red

[00:01:02] The other just turned twenty and he's called the Killer Kid

[00:01:12] Good advice I get and that's to leave and run away

[00:01:20] But my pride and badge I wear won't let me live this way

[00:01:27] And if I stay the three have bragged they'll add me to their list

[00:01:35] But I have a different aim and I don't aim to miss

[00:01:45] From the doorway where I stand I see the outlaws three

[00:01:52] Worried none because they know the town's not helpin' me

[00:02:00] From a hundred yards away I try a lucky shot

[00:02:07] Luck is with me and Dakota Jack dies on the spot

[00:02:20] Well a kid runs through the barroom door and red goes up the stairs

[00:02:28] The kid is ragin' mad he's breakin' bottles kickin' chairs

[00:02:36] And from a roof El Paso Red has vowed to pay me back

[00:02:43] As he views the lifeless body of Dakota Jack

[00:02:53] I can see him as he jumps from one roof to the next

[00:03:00] Searchin' for me but he has no idea where I'm at

[00:03:08] But I watch his every move I'm ready when he leaps

[00:03:15] As I shoot him in mid air he crashes to the street

[00:03:25] Now there's one against just one I've evened up the score

[00:03:33] Down the street I hear a yell come through the barroom door

[00:03:40] The kid has screamed there's no way I can live unless I run

[00:03:48] Said there ain't no lawdog man enough to take his gun

[00:03:57] Through the barroom door he walks and steps out on the street

[00:04:05] I can't match his draw he's much too fast for me to beat

[00:04:12] And as I walk toward him we both grab a forty five

[00:04:20] Maybe I will die today and he will stay alive

[00:04:33] Like a hammer somethin' hits me spinnin' me around

[00:04:41] As I fall I shoot him twice before he hits the ground

[00:04:48] His bullet missed me still I feel a burnin' in my chest

[00:04:56] His bullet hits the badge I wear with pride upon my vest

[00:05:05] As the people view the bodies of the lifeless three

[00:05:13] From their looks I know exactly what they think of me

[00:05:20] To them I'm just a killer and they could not care less

[00:05:28] 'Bout my pride or 'bout the badge I wear upon my vest
