Il testo della Silverado

As a young man i was raised by men of the cloth
And i was tought to judge men equal and not to find their faults
Until one day i witnessed a tragic thing
The men lay on the church steps, slain
And when the smoke cleared a tall man holstered his gun
The bright day ended and a cloud did cover the sun
I found hate in my heart that i'd never known before
I'll see this man hang and if that's the one thing that i know for sure

Silverado you'll hang by the hangman's tree
And you'll die in misery

His face remained in my eyes as i grew through the years
I practiced shooting every day while trying to hold back the tears
I travelled through oklahoma and texas to the rio grande
Knowing when i met silverado the lord would steady my hand

Silverado you'll hang by the hangman's tree
And you'll die in misery

Then the day came i dreamed of for years
Silverado stood before me and my heart it pounded in fear
As he turned and saw my eyes he knew why i'd come
And without a flick of the eyes he went for his gun
And as i caused a fight tears come to my eyes
When he collapsed before me i dropped my gun an sighed

Silverado you'll hang by the hangman's tree
And you'll die in misery
