Описание: Six Shots South of Santa Fe – Western Story Song | Outlaw Ballad by Pat Melfi (Official Lyric Video)

Six Shots South of Santa Fe” (©1988, written by Pat Melfi) is a haunting outlaw ballad rooted in the dust, blood, and broken vows of the Old West. Through vivid storytelling, it follows a lone gunslinger on a path carved by vengeance, justice, and fate. Love lost, sins unpaid, and the whisper of six fateful shots beneath the Santa Fe sky turn this song into a cinematic Western tale.

Echoing the tradition of Marty Robbins, the grit of Johnny Cash, and the poetry of Kris Kristofferson, this track stands strong in the Americana and outlaw-country lineage. It is a lyrical journey through betrayal, redemption, and the price a man pays for justice.

SIX SHOTS SOUTH of SANTA FE

From the Pen of Pat Melfi — September 1, 1988

Sun dipped low behind blood-red hills
Dust rose up and the night went still
Boots tapped rhythm on a chapel floor
I’d prayed before, but never for war
A bounty pinned to a rusted gate
My name etched deep beneath the weight
They said I’d come for sin and pay
Six shots south of Santa Fe

Maria held my hand last spring
You’ll wear that six-gun to your grave
She begged me leave that gun behind
But justice ain’t kind to a man that’s blind
He took her love, he took her breath
Left her cold in a silver dress
Now I ride for a debt unpaid
Six shots south of Santa Fe

CHORUS
Six shots rang like judgment bells, one for the lies that heaven repels
One for the preacher who turned away, one for the vow I swore that day
One for the silence that led her astray, one for the tears that won't wash away
And the last one waits if I don’t stay, six shots south of Santa Fe

The cantina doors creaked wide at ten
Every eye read the weight of men
He stood with his back to a whiskey glass
Smilin’ like death with a heart of brass
No words exchanged, just the pull of fate
Like thunder rolling through a churchyard gate
His hand twitched fast, but not as gray
Six shots south of Santa Fe

BRIDGE
The sheriff watched with hollow grace, one cross more carved into this place
A man can run, but fate don’t bend—it draws its breath at the bitter end

CHORUS
Six shots rang and not one more, the echoes danced through the canyon floor
One for the love that death betrayed, one for the blood that had to pay
One for the sins I can’t unsay, one for the price I’ve yet to weigh
And two for the ghosts that ride with me south of Santa Fe, where fate runs free
