Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album breaking hearts<br><br>Sling your hook in with him baby<br>He's a real sharp-shooter now<br>If he's out there hiding in the tall grass<br>Tell him I said he was a coward<br><br>This ain't any old western honey<br>It's the twentieth century now<br>But if he thinks he's some kind of tough cowboy<br>And he's hurt her then I want to know how<br><br>Did he shoot her with his compromise<br>Like a heart attack he can paralyse<br>Or did he hang her in a noose<br>On the telephone line<br><br>Did he shoot her with a 45<br>Did he leave his mark right between her eyes<br>Oh did he shoot that girl<br>That used to be mine<br><br>Tell him I'm ready any time he chooses<br>The pay-off for the things, for the things he's done<br>He ain't messing with no two-bit bandit<br>Armed with a couple of guns<br><br>If he wants to see it as a two reel movie<br>He's living in the head of someone else<br>But better take him down and dust him honey<br>I want to hear the truth for myself<br><br>Did he shoot her<br>Did he shoot her
