The Vision
I can feel myself floating in the air
I open my eyes and stare
The ground is just flowing by me
I find feel my eyes go back into my head
I'm standing alone in a field at the homestead
Dad is there calling my name
"Charlie! Come on over here boy
Let me tell you some words of joy
"You see this piece of paper here"
I focused my eyes so I could see the document clear
"Yeah Pa" I said in my haste.
"This piece of paper here is such a waste.
"Your grandad died due to this.
"Betrayed by those he would miss.
"This paper here says he owns this here town.
"From here to Busted Gulch, for miles around"
My eyes focused again to see the deed
"If that's true Pa, then why we out here barely able to feed?"
He stood up and placed the paper in his hat
"You see son these people that killed your granddad, wanted what he had"
Pa started to walk away and the next thing I seen
Puddles of blood flowing by me
My family home burnt to the ground
I scream out but don't hear a sound
Doc Vale was there with torch in hand
Then I noticed the mysterious man
Carob had his gum pointed high
Like he was shooting at the sky
The man came close and reach out his hand
Almost as if he was my friend
His face was blurred but I knew his sound
Tri Gun Jones has came to town
