John Fogerty - Gunslinger Lyrics
Looking out across this town
Kinda makes me wonder how
All the things that made us great
Got left so far behind
Decent folks, hard working ways
Now they hide behind locked doors
Afraid to speak their mind
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
Someone let the fences go
Shooting up the streets
Shoutin' everybody down
The dogs all running loose
Wreck the paper
Closed the school
Tired ol' judge got roughed up too
No one left to make a stand
They whisper, "what's the use"
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
Think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

Remember when earth wasn't a total shithole like 15 years ago? Good times!

2007 this song Comes out 2017 Trump are President.
That picture looks like Fogerty is taking a piss.
Don't think Fogerty will be happy that people think his song is about mister Trump...
Correct. One of the verses is quoting " somebody … to tame this town" TOO MANY LOOSE CANNONS ON THE RUN. DT is political anarchy on the right wing.
John is promoting someone to COLLECT all guns, not let loose.
1st time I heard this today. Immediately thought of 45... Exactly WHAT WE NEED. LOVE TRUMP
Vote Red on Tuesday!
Fogerty himself certainly would not. I do hope that's not lost on you.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this. Is this music for sale yet ? I just stumbled on the music on TV.. LOVE it. Got to Have it !
Trump for sure. Dedicate to President Trump
That would be Trump!!!
I think we have a gunslinger in the White House now!
Kathleen Craig hell yeah
Despite what you might think, if you're ever looking in the White House for your gunslinger, you're looking in the wrong place.
THANK you!! We DO need a gunslinger in charge, but that simpering narcissistic psychopath tantrum thrower is the opposite!
John's the greatest
why don't u & trump get a room slick
Kimberlie Baird YOU NEED A GUN SLINGER TO BLOW YOUR ASS AWAY! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔫💀
why don't u & trump get a room slick
Be right up with stupid
Sounds like this was written for President Trump! Amen :)
This was recorded several years ago and Donald Trump is exactly what this Nation needed. Thank God we got him, maybe now we can finally stop kissing the boots of the tinhorn doctors of the world. Stand up with him and this Nation Will Be Great Again.
I think John managed to beautifully say what Toby Keith made sound stupid because this song is what Beer for my Horses should have been.
i'm guessing a tribute to Arnold Shwartsaneger - great tune
the gunslinger is Australia
Brad Barron can’t get guns in Australia
Ffhd Cud but we will be always with USA and we are tough
Happy Birthday John
Love this song 😘😃😄😇😊
Should be Trump song
This couldn't be more important now.
Jay Sims 💯
Donald Trump, the gunslinger, the human Molotov cocktail America needs. Make America Great Again

Roland Deschain, he'd be the guy to get the job done
The 2009 john Fogerty release means even more today with all the trials and tribulations going on throughout the world.The words "Tell it like it is"If Goverment,s would stop looking the other way and begin addressing the problems of terrorism then we can find a gunslinger to bring justice to tame the problems!
2006, actually. #knowitall
...the real "Gunslinger"...Sanders/Warren 2016 ;) ...
Funny joke....haha....
A nd now, 2020, unless we get blessed.
The BOMB!!
need a gunslinger for the only one who didn't like this song :)
Couldn't be more true dedicated to my brother rip
Remember when bad guys went to jail & stayed there?
jaaaa they sucked dick and ass, but chris norman was a fucking legand of a voice, pure angel
This man is amazing !
I have been a massive fan since 1969 !
Good song from a good album.
My teacher LOVES this song. I told him I went to John's concert this summer and then he was like "Well did he play Gunslinger?" "Yeah, he did." I replied then he told me he LOVED this song. :P
He means we need to stop hiding from the criminal element that makes us lock the doors at night. When I was kid we never looked our doors. My mom started to lock the doors after I left for the military and my dad dying. The police would come around but they can't be everywhere. You have to stand your ground. Unfortunetely the lawyers protected the criminals. Luckily now more states are having laws where you will not go to jail if you protect your home. Arm yourself and become the gunslinger.
mate im with you on this one
Lawyers protect the rights of criminals AND those that are not criminals.
I wasn't being facetious - I'm not a minority but I was an immigrant, naturalized in 1961. Nothing that goes on today would have been tolarated in my working-class neighborhood back then; forget about the police, the neighborhood adults knew how to handle things, even in 10021 :)
Yes by all means let's have us some anarchy and vigilanteeism. Pehaps you should have studied the books on citizenship a bit more.
@Richard Crossgrove think you missed the point
Everybody loves to see a movie where the gunslinger enforces the law and hands out justice. But when a law enforcement officer does just that people start crying about civil rights and racism. The news media and certain 'groups' jump in with their bias opinion and try to make Sheriff Joe the villain. Luckily, the citizens of Arizona are not fooled. They still vote and keep Sheriff Joe in office. Strangely he gets support from minorities and I'm one of them.
And he's understating it by a mile! What about Sheriff Joe?
@fffreddie so he really means that we need a guy going armed 'round the country shooting anything that seems dangerous? i'm sorry. again, i might have misunderstood the lyrics
get a life idiot and shut the fuck up, never could understand why morons like you think it necessary to act so stupid and think its smart, no one cares shithead, if you don't understand the meaning of some music then you need to wear a helmet, now do you need help understanding what that means too.
jimmie Roan bro it's a comment that's six years old
YoMamasTacos bro it’s a comment that’s half a year old
@yourown99 He's singing about our country's lack of leadership. So yes he's being sarcastic and he really means it.
is he beeing sarcastic or does he really mean the lyrics?
Got to love this song, beautiful sound, it's got meaning, john is just a legend. Thank you very much for posting this.
loveloveloveloveloveloveloveloveeeeee!
i love this song but where is the music video?!?!?!?!!?!??! and is this guy still alive? i hope he is....(:
awesome tune
long dark night "georgies in the jungle knockin at the door come to get your children wants to have a war"this is plitical and John fogerty was PISSED.and by the way he sounds as good now LIVE as he did on studio albums 40 years ago
@PokerJoker811 have you ever seen the rain and fortunate son and effigy .thats three in ten seconds.I think Jhon wants you to use your brain
@nanku42 Pretty sure this wasn't meant to make a political point; Fogerty's not written but 1 truly political song in his life,m and it's hardly running along this viewpoint. I think John just wanted to write a song about the Wild West, so he did.
got to love the classics
Who can say it better! thank You Mr Fogerty
