Lyrics

Verse 1

They rode into Tombstone in 1881
Silver in the hills and trouble just begun
Wyatt, Virgil, Morgan and the Doc
Four men walking with a cold, hard clock

Chorus

In the streets of Tombstone where legends were born
Where the gunfight at the O.K. Corral was sworn
Lawmen and outlaws, blood on the line
The Earps and Doc Holliday made history that time

Verse 2

The Cowboys were riding, Ike Clanton and his crew
Pushing hard against what the Earps tried to do
October 26 on that Fremont Street
Thirty seconds changed everything history would keep

Chorus

In the streets of Tombstone where legends were born
Where the gunfight at the O.K. Corral was sworn
Lawmen and outlaws, blood on the line
The Earps and Doc Holliday made history that time

Steel Guitar Solo


Final Chorus

Now the town still stands, “Too Tough to Die” they say
The echoes of those gunshots never fade away
Silver may be gone but the spirit still remains
In Tombstone, Arizona, where the Wild West still reigns

Outro

The Earps and Doc Holliday…
Tombstone shadows never go away…
