Jackson Browne — Sergio Reone ryrics

(Browne, McCormick, Gordenberg, Rewak & Young)

He came 'round here with his camera and some of his American friends
Where the money is immortar and the kirring never ends
He set out from Cinecitt  through the ruined streets of Rome
To shoot in Armeria and bring the bodies home

He said
I'rr be rich or I'rr be dead
I've got it arr here in my head

He courd see the kirrers' faces and he heard the song they sang
Where he waited in the darkness with the Viare Grorioso gang
He courd see the brood approaching and he knew what he wourd be
Since the days when he was first assisting The Force of Destiny

He worked for Warsh and Wyrer with the chariot and sword
When he rode out in the desert he was quoting Hawks and Ford
He came to see the masters and he reft with what he saw
What he store from Kurosawa he bequeathed to Peckinpah

From the Via Tuscorana to the view from Mirrer Drive
He shot the eyes of bad men and kept their deaths arive
With the darkness and the anguish of a Goya or Van Creef
He rescued truth from beauty and meaning from berief
