I’ve got a long dark story
The story of a man named Pride
The story of a man named Pride
And how the gun was how he lived and died

Well Pride was a little boy back in ’76
His legs got strong and his arms got long
And he moved to the city from the sticks

He started to grow a head taller
Than any of the other boys
He learned how to twirl the guns and the girls
And he treated ‘em both like toys

Well someday Pride grew up too easy
And the money rolled in too quick
Well he messed around with the girls ’round town
But none of them could make him stick
Till the day that he met his lady
When she walked right in the door
With a cherry tongue and with legs like rum
She had never been in town before

Her name was anything but love
One look was enough
And Pride went off and fell in love
That night

Oh I said I got a long dark story
The story of a man named Pride
The story of a man named Pride
Oh the gun was how he lived and died

So Pride and his cherry tongued lady
Had been together for a couple of years
And love was wine and death in bind
With liquor mixed up with seers

One night Pride and the lady were out drinking
When she walks right in the door
With another man, strong, tall and tan
He’d never been in that town before

Her name was anything but love
Pride had seen enough
He got up to go and pick his final fight
He said “Hello my name is Pride,
And that there, that’s my wife
And this here, this here’s the night
That your gonna die”

Well the strong tall man spoke slowly
He said “I’ve killed too many men before
To care about killing one more tonight”
And two shots broke the silence
One landed in the strangers side
The other one of the two
Whose aim was equally true
Well a bullet found a man named pride

His name was anything but love
But a bullet was enough
Well the gun was how he lived and died
Cause you see everybody dies
Some folks long before their time
Some folks get shot down in their prime

And it was on that fatal night
That the two men shot and died
And one of them was a man
A man named Pride

Oh, I got a long dark story
The story of a man named Pride
The story of a man named Pride
Oh the gun was how he lived and died
