Fastest Gun Alive Lyrics

Do you know that I was once famous
with a cool hand and a deadly aim
As the years passed with the reputation
they still ask can I still play the game

A tall order
I don't know if I'm that spry
Fastest gun alive
Is the borderline that wide
Fastest gun alive
I'm a wanted man

Guess I told you that I hung my hat up
I was all through with the dusty plain
Now the old's new and the question's--how much
will you still do for the price of fame

A tall order
I don't know if I'm that spry
Fastest gun alive
Is the borderline that wide
Fastest gun alive
I'm a wanted man

How could it I be
the face on this reward
And they tell me I'm a desperate man
but I'm only tired of being bored

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
