I can’t do without your kiss

Face it
From the album:
Face it
 
G. Kooymans / B. Hay

Tonight when I ride outta here 
they will curse this shotgun town 
Where the whisky flows like water 
and the law means nothing to anyone 

I am headin’ for a showdown 
and when the church-bell chimes nine times 
There’s a crazy gamblers’ final bet 
it makes the local undertaker smile 
You wanted me to settle down, maybe raise a family 
I remember that I said:”matrimony ain’t for me” 

The only thing that you said was: 
“lay down your star with your gun belt 
and let me be your sweetheart 
I don’t want you to get killed” 

I can’t do without your kiss, 
I can’t do without your kiss 
There’s no doin’ without your kiss 

A fearless outlaw always lies 
sweatin’ in his bed 
While the guns are always loaded 
under a pillow, under his head 
And when the rooster calls one moment 
at the final crack of dawn 
Like the whistle from a long gone train 
while the folks are gatherin’ around 

I can’t do without your kiss, 
I can’t do without your kiss 
There’s no doin’ without your kiss 

And in the cathouse when we made it 
You said: “I’m always yours for free” 
After a day and night together 
how in hell could I have disagreed 

I can’t do without your kiss, I can’t do….
