The Legend of Buckshot Rogers

by Mississippi Bones

/
1.
Well, the news you bring to me I find so troubling. I do not think that Muahdib and all his prescience could have foreseen these things. What a plan, to put a hit out on me and my ex right hand man. He won’t like this one at all. Well I see the devious shape of this circumstance, a stoke of brilliance to send the father and figure that the son could not pull the trigger. But, that old dog’s been waiting for his day, and every day has a way of finding you. Then you uppance will come. Schemers are scheming Gonna hatch a plot trying to take my life. They must be dreaming If they think that I’m going down without a fight. I’m gonna find Buckshot. Well the time for planning is through And I know just what do. Time to bust some heads. So, let's get off our assess and get on our way There'll be hell to pay when I find the man with the metal right hand It was a lesson learned in disobedience from his father. Well, one good turn deserves another Cause a dish of revenge is best served cold Even holdin that hate for years I'm told, We parted ways long ago, but I don't know where that sonofabitch might go. But, I gotta go find that fellow. So where do you go when you lost your shoes and you ain’t got no soul. Hiding out with the filth in the ghetto I’m sure. I know where I gotta go…shit. It’s off to Driftertown.

Racing rats down a dead end street, Where society’s rejects and the back alley drifters meet. Dead presidents reign supreme. You can pick your poison but the price ain’t cheap. The man in the cowboy hat is loaded in more ways than one. You can tell be the scars he’s a man to keep one eye on. Won’t you tell me now son, what you keep in that glass, liquid Lady Luck? Old Dan Tucker and Dr. Rocket. Now I’m gonna rock it, he screamed Roll them Bones, snake eyes are prone. When you’re playing with a loaded dice you’ll pay the price. You know the drill, just shoot for the kill. The pay off is twice as nice if you don’t pay with you life. This is his Las Vegas, finding fortune within the filth. Gambling’s his life blood, rolling till the blood’s been spilled. Won’t you tell me now son, what you keep in that glass, liquid Lady Luck? Old Dan Tucker and Dr. Rocket. Now I’m gonna rock it, he screamed You can bitch and moan and carry on all you want, But I ain’t never trust a man with a cyborg arm, So take your damn half robot ass and kick rocks, cause my momma didn’t raise no fool. We’re laying low and taking it slow, but that’s how the story goes When you’re down and out in Driftertown

You’ve been down and laying low for so long, you’re a hard man to find indeed. I got an offer that you just can refuse, and you got nothing to lose. You see, your old man’s on your ass, but I’m first in the list. No wasting time, it’s so or die my friend. I need ya son. I need your gun. In this song and dance your number one. That sonofabich ain’t never gonna quit till a bullet’s in his head. He ain’t stoppin till your coffin fodder, body droppin 6 feet in the ground. Times a wastin. No use hesitating. No debating your decision now. I think the time is nigh to find out where the bloodline ends and the man begins. I need ya son. I need your gun. In this song and dance your number one. That sonofabich ain’t never gonna quit till he gets a bullet in his head. I mean deader than dead. Even then, won’t pretend it’s the end. He might just get back up and shoot us down. I swear to God the man’s half bloodhound. Been on my ass for what seems like days now. Thought I lost him just west of Ohio, nearly shot me down down in El Paso. I swear the man might be immortal, But you're aware there’s only one way to know. I’ll pay you a hefty price for his head. Now it’s your choice be rich or dead. Right here, right now tell me, do you wanna be dead or wealthy? Living like a king or pushing up daisies? A bad ass mother fucker or 6 feet in your grave? Cause I know what I’d do in your place…take the cash.

All the blood I’ve spilled To appease a fathers will Has left me alone, so alone. Every time I find peace they just keep dragging me back for more. Swarming over me just like a pack of jackals drooling over carrion, but that won’t last long Cause I ain’t dead yet and that’s for sure. You mess with the bull you get the horns. Gonna tuck you in for a dirt nap ya Betty. Fold you up in my wallet and spend you on a whore. They want blood, they got it. Saddle up the horses. Lock up the women. Death is coming down hard and swift. There will be blood, I promise. Got my guns cocked, locked, ready to rock. I make the bodies drop So give your measurements to the undertaker for your pine box. Won’t stop til your dead body’s in it. One for the money. Two for the fame. Three fold vengeance for my fathers mistakes. The five fingers that I’ve lost. Six-shooter by my side. Seventh son of the seventh son. Ain’t no one leaving alive. Death is coming down hard and swift. There will be blood, I promise. It was just bad business to make this personal old man and now you’re gonna pay. Gonna leave your body for the vultures to pick dry while you’re bones are left bleach in the sun. Killing is business and I’ve made a killing at it. Killing is business, and I’ve got some business with you. Talking about the business of giving you the business old man. They want blood, they got it. Killing is business and I’ve made a killing at it. Killing is business, and I’ve got some killing to do. You made your last mistake and now you’ve sealed your fate because I’m coming for you. They want blood they got it. Mother forgive me, but father’s forsaken me. He gave me this life that I never wanted. Killing is business and I’ve made a killing at it. Killing is business, and I’ve got some business with you. Talking about the business of giving you the business old man. They want blood, they got it. Killing is business and I’ve made a killing at it. Killing is business, and I’ve got some killing to do. You made your last mistake and now you’ve sealed your fate because I’m coming for you. They want blood they got it.

You wanted the best, well you got him my friend. Now I got you dead to rights, in my sights, And you’re looking straight into the eyes of a stone cold killer. And when I see red, I see red The bodies start dropping like flies. Because I’m like TNT when I swing these guns you’ll feel the heat Just like I’m laying a mushroom cloud on your ass, And you know this to be true. I’ll show no mercy old man for my missing right hand. I’ve waited years to get my metal grip on you. So let’s get on with this showdown shootout. So go on and skin that smoke wagon man. You gonna do something? Make your move, or are you gonna sit there and bleed? Old man, you ain’t cool, you chilly, and chilly ain’t never been cool. Now I’m gonna lay it down real smooth like When I put a bullet into you. So, go on ahead and skin that smokewagon, old man. You gonna make a move, or just sit there and bleed? Well time for vengeance has come, So get your guns out and bring it on. Let the lead rain down in a violent storm. Let us see what this town looks like when it is painted red. This one’s not for the money, but a vengeful son, And to see you lie in a pool of blood. I would tear this whole town down to hell with me just to see you dead. Is that the best you got? Cause if it is you should have never come looking for me. Unless you were looking for someone to send you to hell, And in that case, I’ll be your huckleberry. You want the proof? Gotta know the truth? Be sure, you’re a daisy if you do. No hope is left for you now So do me a favor if you would, and say hello for me To the Devil on your way down.

I warned you at our last exchange, next time would be your head. Can’t believe you thought I would lie to you. A promise kept, a father lying dying on the floor. No love lost and no love gained. My heart ain’t bloodstained no more. What are you gonna do when the one you love don’t love you? What are you gonna do? For years I had followed along in your shadow, Obsequious obedience like a dog To the code that you would die for. Now someone’s let this old dog of the chain And now I’m running wild. No love lost and no love gained. My heart ain’t bloodstained no more. What are you gonna do when the one you love don’t love you? What are you gonna do? Put a bullet in their head. I think it’s high time the world found out… That they found out just who the real legend is And now before I put a bullet in you old man, Any last words? Well I didn’t think so, and I see you eyeing the revolver by your side And I know what you thinking, “Did he fire 6 or 5?” Well you gotta ask yourself, “Do I feel lucky?” Well do you feel lucky old man? I think it’s high time the world found out… That they found out just who the real legend is. Any last words before I send you to hell? Well I didn’t think so, and I see you eyeing the revolver by your side And I know what you thinking, “Did he fire 6 or 5?” Well you gotta ask yourself, “Do I feel lucky?” Well do you feel lucky old man?

about

Buckshot Rogers...the greatest cyborg bounty hunter who ever lived, has a price on his head. The question is...will he be the bounty, or will he be the hunter?

Originally written in 2009, these were the first batch of songs that Jared and Dusty wrote together as Mississippi Bones. Over 10 years later, they decided to revisit the tracks and give them the proper recording they always deserved.
