Once Upon A Time In The West
Dire Straits


Some people get a cheap laugh
Breaking up the speed limit
Scaring up pedestrians for a minute
Crossing up the progress driving on the grass
Leaving just enough for room to pass
Sunday driver never took a test
Oh yeah
Once upon a time in the west
Yes, and it's no use saying that you don't know nothing
Still gonna get you if don't do something
Sitting on the fence that's a dangerous course
You can even catch a bullet from the peace keeping force
Even a hero gets a bullet in the chest
Oh yeah
Once upon a time in the west

Oh

I want to marry your children Mrs. Lauden
Some of your mothers ought to lock up your daughters
Who's protecting the innocent team
A heap of trouble in the land of plenty
Tell me how we're gonna do what's best
You guessed
Once upon a time in the west
Oh yeah
Once upon a time in the west
Oh yeah
Once upon a time in the west
Oh yeah
Once upon a time in the west

Once upon a time in the west
(Once upon a time in the west)

(Once upon a time in the west)

(Once upon a time in the west)

(Once upon a time in the west)
Once upon a time in the west

(Once upon a time in the west)

(Once upon a time in the west)

(Once upon a time in the west)

(Once upon a time in the west)

(Once upon a time in the west)
