When The Time Comes - Paco del Stinko

It happened oh so long ago, when I was just a child
Me and pa rode in to town, the cowpokes running wild
A man who thought he'd done been wronged, shot my pappy dead
And as I knelt down by his corpse, this is what I said

When the time comes
I'll know what to do
I will draw my gun
And shoot the lead right through...you

I grew up to be a man, and I don't forget a face
I heard that Pappy's killer, was down by Old Ned's place

When the time comes
I'll know what to do
I will draw my gun
And shoot the lead right through...you

I never thought I would be like this
Obsessin' ev'ry day
But Pappy died - And how I cried
I made a vow - To gun his killer down

I tapped him on the shoulder, and he done turned around
First I told him who I was, and then I shot him down

When the time came
I knew what to do
I drew my out gun
And shot the lead right through...true

And so it goes - Like wind across the plains
Every man gets done...when the time comes

I call this the “thank God for Memphis” Paco personality. This is hilarious! This might win as well. I’m a huge fan, and this is a good one! It feels so good when the drum and bass kicks in. The backing vocals are perfect. I love it!

Glad to have an excuse to use the name Pappy in a song.
