Frisco Kid
I called myself Slim and he was the Frisco Kid
We were the long arm of the law in our back yard
Fighting off the outlaws as time quickly stole our youth
Never knowing what was waitin' with the turning of a card
At seventeen she came along to deal the dead man's hand
But this game held no winners, all would lose
Me and the Frisco Kid lost our hearts and souls
And the lady almost lost her mind when she was forced to choose
(Chorus)
I said goodbye to the Frisco kid as he rode into the sunset
With the love of my life and I'm sure the love of his
Should I live to be a hundred I'll know the hardest thing I did
Was the night I said goodbye to the Frisco kid
I heard the Frisco kid settled down in Colorado
About as far as one could get from our days of innocence
I hope that their both happy and I wish that I could be
And I hope the price we're paying is worth every single cent
(Chorus)
I said goodbye to the Frisco kid as he rode into the sunset
With the love of my life and I'm sure the love of his
Should I live to be a hundred I'll know the hardest thing I did
Was the night I said goodbye to the Frisco kid
(Bridge)
Through the ages men have asked am I my brother's keeper
Does true love last forever, well I know two that did
I'm livin' proof that blood is thicker than water
Since the night I said goodbye to the Frisco kid
(Chorus)
When I said goodbye to the Frisco kid my brother rode into the sunset
With the love of my life and I'm sure the love of his
Should I live to be a hundred I'll know the hardest thing I did
Was the night I said goodbye to the Frisco kid
Goodbye my brother .. Goodbye Frisco Kid
