You put leaving on my mind, love, I'm gonna fly like the lonesome dove
Until my troubles with you fade to a blue mirage
You said 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
Your words ricochet around my head, might as well be sling and lay
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 them lay where they fell, get the hell out of Dodge
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 behind some swinging doors
Ain't gonna wait until the law gets there, taking names and kicking you nowhere
A hanging judge with a trumped up charge
I see the riding on the fence rail, I hear the call down the lonesome trail
Clear as a bell, get the hell out of Dodge
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 said 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
One thing I do well, get the hell out of Dodge
