[Verse 1]
You put leavin' on my mind, love
I'm gonna fly like the lonesome dove
Until my troubles with you fade to a blue mirage
You say there's gonna be a showdown
But I won't be here at sundown
One thing I do well, get the hell out of Dodge

[Verse 2]
Your words a-ricochet around my head
Might as well be slingin' lead
But I'm a son of a gun if I can stand more than one barrage
Already two of my amigos died
My dignity and my manly pride
Let 'em lay where they fell, get the hеll out of Dodge

[Bridge]
I won't hang around this old cow town if you don't need me anymore
And I don't need nothing I can't find bеhind some swingin' doors

[Verse 3]
Ain't gonna wait until the law gets there
Takin' names and kickin' you know where
A hangin' judge with a trumped up charge
I see the writing on the fence rail
I hear the call down the lonesome trail
Clear as a bell, get the hell out of Dodge
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
You put leavin' on my mind, love
I'm gonna fly like the lonesome dove
Until my troubles with you fade to a blue mirage
You say there's gonna be a showdown
But I won't be here at sundown
One thing I do well, get the hell out of Dodge
One thing I do well, get the hell out of Dodge
