Liberty Valance Lyrics

When Liberty Valance rode to town,

the women folk would hide,

they'd hide

When Liberty Valance walked around,

the men would step aside

Because the point of a gun

was the only law that Liberty understood

When it came to shooting

straight and fast,

he was mighty good.

From out of the east a stranger came,

a law book in his hand,

a man

The kind of a man the west would need

to tame a troubled land

'Cause the point of a gun

was the only law that Liberty understood

When it came to shooting

straight and fast,

he was mighty good.



Many a man would face his gun,

and many a man would fall.

The man who shot Liberty Valance,

he shot Liberty Valance,

He was the bravest of them all.



The love of a girl can make a man

stay on when he should go,

stay on

Just trying to build a peaceful life

where love is free to grow

But the point of a gun

was the only law that Liberty understood

When the final showdown

came to pass,

a law book was no good.



Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd

return that fateful night,

ahh that night

When nothing she said could keep

her man from going out to fight

From the moment a girl gets to be full grown,

the very first thing she learns

When two men go out to face each other,

only one returns



Everyone heard two shots ring out,

the shot made Liberty fall

The man who shot Liberty Valance,

he shot Liberty Valance,

he was the bravest of them all.



The man who shot Liberty Valance,

he shot Liberty Valance,

he was the bravest of them all.
