Bullets In The Gun

[Verse 1] They used to call me lightening I was always quick to strike Had everything I own In the saddles on my bike I had a reputation For never staying very long Just like a wild and restless drifter Like a cowboy in a song I met a darkhaired beauty Where they lay the whiskey down In southern Arizona In a little border town She had to dance for money In that dusty old saloon I dropped a dollar in the jukebox Played that girl a tune, yea [Hook] Never see it coming Just hits you by surprise It is that cold place in your soul And the fire in her eyes Makes you come together Like wild horses when they run Now the cards are on the table and The bullets in the gun [Verse 2] She was sitting on my lap We still had shots to kill When a man pulled up Who owned the bar In a cadillac deville He grabbed her by her raven hair And threw her on the floor Said no free ride for the cowboy That is not what I pay you for She jumped up and grabbed my pistol Stuck it in the fat man's back Said open up the safe And put your money in the sack Then tied his hands behind him And blindfolded his eyes Said if you are dumb enough to chase us man You are dumb enough to die [Hook] [Verse 3] We rode across the border Down into Mexico When you are running from the law Is that where everybody goes We came to a town With a name I could not spell She gave me what I came for In that Mexican motel I woke up to sires & the sound of running feet 50 Federales locked and loaded in the street She grabbed my 44 I grabbed the money in the sack She kissed me for the last time And we headed out the back Every gun was on us And every heartbeat pounded The only thing that is left to do When they got you all surrounded She fired that old pistol But we did not stand a prayer Money hit the gravel Man, bullets filled the air
