High Noon by Jim Bennett © Bennett 5/26/98

Verse 1
High noon waiting for a sign, draw the bead pull the trigger pretty soon you're gonna be mine
Gotta be a man have to take a stand for the law you were wrong now it's not gonna be long
Palms sweating fever starts to rise beating heart in my throat at the blink of an eye......

Chorus
Better luck next, Time
What was I supposed to do I'm tired of
Hiding gotta look out for my back, Oh won't you tell me
Why does it have to be this way, I knew there would come a day better you than me
Better luck next time

Verse 2
Voices screaming down inside my head, boy you can't stop now better run or your dead
Need to rest till midnight no light running around better luck under dark night
Forty minutes got the border in sight, gonna ride like hell to the morning light......

Chorus
Better luck next, Time
What was I supposed to do I'm tired of
Hiding gotta look out for my back, Oh won't you tell me
Why does it have to be this way, I knew there would come a day better you than me
Better luck next time

Bridge
I'm holding Death's hand gonna make my last stand gotta fight for what's right if I'm gonna be a man
Better say your prayers, You better close your eyes I got one last bullet and it's not gonna be mine....

Chorus
Better luck next, Time
What was I supposed to do I'm tired of
Hiding gotta look out for my back, Oh won't you tell me
Why does it have to be this way, I knew there would come a day better you than me
Better luck next time (Repeat chorus again)
