James Taylor - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
When Liberty Valance came to town
Womenfolk would hide, they'd hide
When Liberty Valance walked around
The men would step aside

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
From out of the east a stranger came
A law book in his hand, a man
Kind of a man the west would need to ease a troubled land

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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
Now the love of a woman 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

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night
That night
Nothing she said could keep her man going out to fight

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
[?] two shots ring out, a 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
