the sheriff sent me to find you
he wants to talk to you real bad
he heard you...was fightin' everyone...and he's mad
that was the night that i met you
a man kissed your wife...blood was spilled
he hit you...you stood, shaken...then, you stabbed

we brawled at the barndance
the best we ever had...the best we ever had

he tried to hit me...but got you
i madly kicked him in the crotch
he's retchin'...i'm gonna run him down and stomp
but to my surprise, he had pinned you
surrended, but then you got mad
but finally...he went on down...a punch-drunk man

we were rollin' around
i smashed in his face with a mirror
then he grabbed something...to clout you
big guys...one on one...two on two
fun and fun and fun
and it looks just like a big fight, to me
is startin' to brew

he finally let loose and he grabbed you
you gladly gave him all you got
he kicked you...looks like the fun will never stop

then some other guy tried to fight you
you wrecked him real good, and that's bad
you find out...that you have slugged ol' sheriff dan

we brawled at the barndance
the best we ever had...the best we ever had
