Remind me to tell you 
bout the old silver miner 
name of hard rock Pete 
had his house built on a slope 
They say one of his legs 
lived in Calico 
Ther's a rumour going round 
that the other lived in hope 
So I walked in the room 
and I stopped 
I turned around 
and looked over my shoulder 
And a voice close beside me said 
You'd better watch your head 
the party's over 


It wasn't long before 
the waitress came over and said 
Can I freshen up your drink 
and have you heard of these boys 
and if you feel included 
to buy some cowboy boots 
Well it's not that bad 
we can talk above the noise 
So I sucked on my beer 
Shut my eyes 
and tried to listen to the words 
I know I missed the meaning 
but the message 
was something I'd already heard 


Johnny Ringo's voice 
is getting deeper 
and now he's going to put 
another lock on the door 
The night is getting later 
My head is getting lighter 
The mood is getting darker 
Tequila's being poured 
So I smile 
at the old gunslinger 
in his frame on the wall 
as he pushed back his hat 
And it's all coming back 
I'd cut a long story short 
but it's much too late for that 


Somebody stole my guitar 
They took it from 
the back seat of my car 


I was sleeping in Memphis 
in my hotel room 
and somebody stole my guitar
