Golden Earring - I Can't Do Without Your Kiss lyrics

Tonight when I ride outta here

they will curse this shotgun town

Where the whisky flows like water

and the law means nothing to anyone

I am headin’ for a showdown

and when the church-bell chimes nine times

There’s a crazy gamblers’ final bet

it makes the local undertaker smile

You wanted me to settle down, maybe raise a family

I remember that I said:"matrimony ain’t for me"

The only thing that you said was:

"lay down your star with your gun belt

and let me be your sweetheart

I don’t want you to get killed"

I can’t do without your kiss,

I can’t do without your kiss

There’s no doin’ without your kiss

A fearless outlaw always lies

sweatin’ in his bed

While the guns are always loaded

under a pillow, under his head

And when the rooster calls one moment

at the final crack of dawn

Like the whistle from a long gone train

while the folks are gatherin’ around

I can’t do without your kiss,

I can’t do without your kiss

There’s no doin’ without your kiss

And in the cathouse when we made it

You said: "I’m always yours for free"

After a day and night together

how in hell could I have disagreed

I can’t do without your kiss, I can’t do....
