Boot Hill Lyrics

Look up on the wall baby,
Hand me down my shootin' iron
Look up on the wall baby,
Hand me down my shootin' iron
Call your mother long distance,
Tell her to expect your body home

If the city won't bury you baby,
I believe the county will
If the city won't bury you baby,
I believe the county will
You made your last mistake,
You going way out on the boot hill
Lord look out baby I don't want to murder you

I don't want to hurts you baby
'cause you gave me my first thrill
I don't want to hurts you woman,
'cause you gave me my first thrill
You did me so wrong,
You're going way out on that boot hill
Going out on boot hill baby

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.
