I'm Afraid

There he stands in the middle of the street

With lighting hands and wide-spread feet

The evenin' sun is gonna see

Somebody dead either him or me

I'm afraid

The man I face used to be my friend

We used to ride in the Texas wind

I guess you'll kill another man

I hope you're happy Janie Ann

I'm afraid

Too scared to fight too proud to run

Guess we'll see who's the fastest gun

A lonesome walk on the count of three

Then a rapid trip to eternity

I'm afraid

(Afraid afraid afraid)

He's gettin' closer to me now

Soon he'll draw I taught him how

A duel of fools for Janie Ann

The fastest gal for the fastest man

I'm afraid

His hand is droppin' to his gun

Tell me oh Lord am I the one

My hand is shakin' for I know

That I'm not really set to go

I'm afraid

There he lies in the middle of the street

His lightning hands at last I beat

I killed my friend for Janie Ann

But that don't mean I am a man

I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid
