[Intro]
Dusty plains, a lone desperado's call
Hear the tales of Pistol Pete, standing tall
[Verse 1]
Out in Wyoming's wide-open scene
A gambler and a gunslinger, living free and mean
His shadow cast on the rugged hills
A legend forged by iron and will
[Pre-Chorus]
With a six-shooter resting low
Facin' storms and drifting snow
Every outlaw, every friend
Sing the ballad of Pistol Pete again
[Chorus]
Oh, Pistol Pete, in the land of wind and stone
Riding through the night, never walking alone
Wyoming's own, under starry skies so deep
This is the ballad of Pistol Pete
[Verse 2]
Barroom tales in smoky glow
Of a man who’d rather die than bow
He’s the whisper in the canyon’s breeze
A myth among the mountain steeds
[Pre-Chorus]
With a shot that echoes clear
Facing shadows without fear
From the valley to the peak
His story’s strong, his spirit's sleek
[Chorus]
Oh, Pistol Pete, in the land of wind and stone
Riding through the night, never walking alone
Wyoming's own, under starry skies so deep
This is the ballad of Pistol Pete
[Bridge]
Through the storms and prairie rain
His name will rise again
In the hearts of those who roam
Wyoming's proud, forever home
[Outro]
So raise your glass to the western wind
To the cowboy spirit, born to brave and win
Pistol Pete, forever free
In the legend of Wyoming’s memory
