Barracuda Dan Songtext
von Audience

Do you recall that bank job in 1881?
We lit out ′cross the country, spent a whole year on the run
Not seein' where we went, just lookin′ back the way we'd come
Didn't see the sheriff sneak up on us from the front

Hey, Barracuda Dan
Well, he was a straight, long man
His teeth were a tombstone span, oh, no
One look and the bad men ran

Yeah, we had to fight it out there, though we knew it weren′t no use
We both knew Barracuda and we knew we had to lose
But better dying Dan′s way than dying in a noose
And swinging while the people cheered, cheers in spite of you


He tried to rope his horse up and I fired at his head
He caught the bullet in his teeth and spat it in my leg
Ripped the lasso loose, so's it was you that fell instead
Then Barracuda′s face said, "Hold it, one move and you're dead"

Hey, Barracuda Dan
Yeah, he was a straight, long man
His teeth were a tombstone span, oh, no
One look and the bad men ran

Now, even I can do all that the law requires me to
Said, "Dan, I don′t believe in hangin', here′s just what I'll do
I'll take your horses, cash and guns, the rest is up to you"
He left us ′neath the desert sun in 1882

Hey, Barracuda Dan
Well, he was a straight, long man
His teeth were a tombstone span, oh, no
One look and the bad men ran


Oh, hey, Barracuda Dan
Well, he was a straight, long man
His teeth were a tombstone span, oh, no
One look and the bad men ran
