Lyrics

Verse 1

Down at the east end, Tenth Street, past the crowds
Where the locals go when the tourists get too loud
Coldest beer in Tombstone and a pizza on the way
Steakhouse right next door if you're planning on staying late
No gunfight shows, no costume, no ticket at the door
Just good folks and a jukebox and a little something more

Chorus

Meet me down at Ringo's at the east end of town
Where the beer's ice cold and the sun goes down
Cowboy quiet, outlaw cool
Pull up a seat, you know the rule
Meet me down at Ringo's, we'll stay till they close it down
Down at Ringo's at the east end of town

Verse 2

Johnny Ringo read the classics, quoted Shakespeare drunk at night
Rode with the Cowboys, always looking for a fight
They found him in Turkey Creek in the summer of eighty-two
Tree stump for a deathbed, and a mystery through and through
Now his name's above a bar where nobody's picking fights
Just neighbors talking weather under those Tenth Street lights

Chorus

Meet me down at Ringo's at the east end of town
Where the beer's ice cold and the sun goes down
Cowboy quiet, outlaw cool
Pull up a seat, you know the rule
Meet me down at Ringo's, we'll stay till they close it down
Down at Ringo's at the east end of town

Instrumental Guitar Solo

Bridge

Allen Street can keep the show
This is where the locals go
One more round, one more song
Out here we all belong

Final Chorus

Meet me down at Ringo's at the east end of town
Where the beer's ice cold and the sun goes down
Cowboy quiet, outlaw cool
Pull up a seat, you know the rule
Meet me down at Ringo's, we'll stay till they close it down
Down at Ringo's at the east end of town
