Under the Texas sun,
And no one guessed,
That a man so blessed,
Would perish by the gun,

And Heaven held it's breath,
For a man shot down,
In a Southern town,
In the summer of his years,
Yes, the summer of his years.
And we who stay mustn't ever lose,
The victories that he's won,
For wherever

A shot rang out like a Southern shout, And Heaven held it's breath, For a man shot down, In a Southern town, In the summer of his years, Yes, the summer of his years. And we who stay mustn't ever lose, The victories that he's won, For wherever Explain Request ×
