As Pitney himself explains it,: "The song "Liberty Valance" was written for the movie but for some strange reason never was put in the sound track. Because of the prior success with "Town Without Pity", I was paid a bundle to record the song, and Burt Bacharach produced it. He wrote the song with Hal David. There was some screw up between the Publishing company Famous Music, and the Parent company, Paramount Pictures as to why it never was in the actual film." When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they'd hide When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside 'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good. From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man BRThe kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land BR'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood BRWhen it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good. BR BRMany a man would face his gun and many a man would fall BRThe man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance BRHe was the bravest of them all. BR BRThe love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go, stay on BRJust tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow BRBut the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood BRWhen the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good. BR BRAlone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, aww that night BRWhen nothin' she said could keep her man from goin' out to fight BRFrom the moment a girl gets to be full-grown the very first thing she learns BRWhen two men go out to face each other only one retur-r-r-ns BR BREveryone heard two shots ring out, a shot made Liberty fall BRThe man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance BRHe was the bravest of them all. BR BRThe man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance BRHe was the bravest of them all.
