lyrics

Born to a preacher man in 1853. He killed his first man at 15
‘n started runnin to stay free.
John Wesley Hardin as bad as bad can be.
(He) shot a man for snoring that he had never even seen.

Livin on the run, never sayin his own name,
Livin as an outlaw, playing their games.

(He) killed 42 men, well that was his claim
(He) lived 42 years on this earthly plane.

Playin cards and drinkin, shootin was what they knew.
At 17 he shot a lawman, at 18 he shot two.

They spoke with their guns. They fought with them too.
A bullet through the head (and) John Hardin was dead at 42.

And a bullet through the head and John Hardin was dead at 42.
