that's known throughout the land
They say I'm faster on the draw
They call me the bad man,
They say the only thing I know
But they don't know the reason
This started many years ago
I rode into a tattered town
So young and yet that very day
I thought I'd play a hand or two
But Lady Luck wasn't with me
The dealer kept on dealing,
the stakes were getting high
And pretty soon there was no one
The minutes seemed like hours,
you couldn't hear a sound
until we laid all our money down
The cowboy smiled and showed
But I laid down a royal flush
and reached to claim my gold
The cowboy stood and faced me,
his hands hung at his hips
A look of hate was in his eyes,
a smile at her empty lips
He said, young man, slap leather,
I'm known for miles around
To keep my reputation up,
With a light that's speeding
The cowboy crumbled to the floor,
Now years have come and years have gone,
And in my many fights to live,
I'm known by all as Batman,
they think I kill for fun
Someday I'll meet a cowboy
whose feet will meet my chest
Man, that would end the saga
