Tekst piosenki
The old gunfighter on the porch
stared into the sun
and relived the days of living by the gun
when deadly games of pride were played
and living was mistakes not made
and the thought of the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Ah, the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
It’s always keep your back to the sun
and he can almost feel the weight of the gun
it’s faster than snakes or the blink of an eye
and it’s a time for all slow men to die
and his eyes get squinty and his fingers twitch
and he empties the gun at the son of a bitch
and he’s hit by the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
hit by the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Now the burn of a bullet is only a scar
he’s back in his chair in front of the bar
and the streets are empty and the blood’s all dried
and the dead are dust and the whiskey’s inside
so buy him a drink and lend him an ear
he’s nobody’s fool and the only one here
who remembers the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
remember the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
He said I stood in that street before it was paved
learned shoot or be shot before I could shave
and I did it all for the money and fame
noble was nothing but feeling no shame
and nothing was sacred but stayin' alive
and all that I learned from a Colt 45
was to curse the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
curse the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Now he’s just an old man that no one believes
says he’s a gunfighter, the last of the breed
and there are ghosts in the street seeking revenge
calling him out to the lunatic fringe
now he’s out in the traffic checking the sun
and he’s killed by a car as he goes for his gun
So much for the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
so much for the smell of the black powder smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Stary rewolwerowiec na ganku
/ align = "left" /
i przeżyłem dni życia przy pistolecie.
when deadly games of pride were played
a życie było błędem, którego nie popełniono.
and the thought of the smell of the black proch smoke
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Zapach czarnego prochu.
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Zawsze trzymaj się słońca plecami.
i prawie czuje ciężar broni.
jest szybszy niż węże czy mrugnięcie okiem.
i nadszedł czas, by wszyscy powolni ludzie umierali.
oczy mu mrugają, a palce drżą.
i wycelował w tego sukinsyna.
i został uderzony zapachem czarnego prochu.
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
/ align = "left" /
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Teraz spalenie kuli to tylko blizna.
siedzi na krześle przed barem.
ulice są puste, a krew wyschła.
a umarli to pył, a whiskey jest w środku.
więc postaw mu drinka i Pożycz mu ucho.
jest niczyim głupcem i jedynym tutaj.
kto pamięta zapach czarnego prochu?
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
pamiętaj o zapachu czarnego prochu.
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Powiedział, że stałem na tej ulicy, zanim została wybrukowana.
/ align = "left" /
zrobiłem to dla pieniędzy i sławy.
noble was nothing but feeling no shame
and nothing was sacred but stayin ' alive
i wszystko czego nauczyłem się od Colta 45
przeklinać zapach czarnego prochu.
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
/ align = "left" /
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Teraz jest tylko starym człowiekiem, w którego nikt nie wierzy.
mówi, że jest rewolwerowcem, ostatnim z rasy.
a na ulicy są duchy szukające zemsty.
/ align = "left" /
teraz jest w korku i sprawdza słońce.
i zostaje zabity przez samochód, gdy idzie po broń.
To tyle, jeśli chodzi o zapach czarnego prochu.
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
to tyle, jeśli chodzi o zapach czarnego prochu.
and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
