The lyric for this one came to me (Stanfield) in a dream: the idea of a bullet carved from stone and a husband killed for murdering his wife. Opens up lots of questions. Why would the husband hire Bill Walker? Guilt? Did Bill kill the wrong man?

Lyrics
Bill Walker
I hired Bill Walker to track a man down
who'd murdered my wife and never was found.
Said, "Bring him to justice, do what you must,
folks I admire say you're someone to trust."
Bill Walker made a bullet carved out of stone
said, "a slug of cold granite will lay that man low."
He spent all his time on a trail that was cold
for almost a year I paid him in gold.
A chuck wagon cook, a restless cowboy,
Bill found the people I’d once employed
(Instrumental break)
The further he traveled the fewer his words
Bill Walker was troubled by all he had heard.
He came to my house and all he would say
is “a man who's done murder is dying today”.
(Instrumental break)
Bill Walker made a bullet carved out of stone
said, "a slug of cold granite will lay that man low."
A bullet of granite stings like a bee
straight through the heart... Bill Walker killed me.
