Story Behind The Song

Came up with the opening piano riff and built the story around that as it made me think of the wild west

Song Description

A story of a young boy coming to the west from the east to be the fastest gun. However he meets his match, as there's always a faster gunner.

Lyrics

WILD WILD WEST

A young boy just 17, hit the road one day from the town of New Orleans
Heard the stories along the way, the wild west is where a boy belongs today
Wanted to be Jesse James, wanted to steal and ride away
Singing Yippee Yo Ki Yay, he?s all alone with a 45
He saddles up his horse and away he rides


CHORUS
Through the Wild Wild West where men are men and the guns don?t rest
Where the good guys always get the bad
And if you?re the best, you will always get the girl
Out here in the wild wild west

From Texas down to Mexico, he learned the things that a desperado knows
Breaking hearts along the way he told them all you know I?ll never stay
I?ll go down in history, be the greatest of them all
Everyone will see my silhouette, my 45, as away I ride

CHORUS
Through the Wild Wild West where men are men and the guns don?t rest
Where the good guys always get the bad
And if you?re the best, you will always get the girl
Out here in the wild wild west

And he learned to shoot and he learned to ride
And he learned to kill, it was his only sense of pride
One cold day he drew too slow
And he fell face down in the frozen snow

Another boy 17, hit the road one day from the town of New Orleans
Heard the stories along the way, the wild west is where a boy belongs today
Wanted to be Jesse James, gonna steal and ride away
Singing Yippee Yo Ki Yay, he?s all alone with a 45
He saddles up his horse and away he rides

CHORUS
Through the Wild Wild West where men are men and the guns don?t rest
Where the good guys always get the bad
And if you?re the best, you will always get the girl
Out here in the wild wild west
