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.
