Lyric The Gunfighter
I m taken aback
But still I let it ride
No sudden movements
I ease my hand real slow
Then my hands are like lightning
And the bullets start to fly
I was almost in the clear too
With just inches left to go
-
[Chorus]
And, if it s a fool who likes to rush in
And if it s the angel who never does try
And if it s me who will lose or win
Then I ll make my best guess and I won t care why
C mon and get me, you twist of fate
I m standing right here Mr. Destiny
If you want to talk, then I ll relate
If you don t, so what, cause you don t scare me
-
Time comes when I m older
And a new kid hits the street
They ll say he s fast and he looks for me
And he says I m going down
And though I try to avoid this man
Eventually we ll meet
He draws faster than I can see and knocks me to the ground
-
[Chorus]
-
So I m lying there in the street there
And the lights are getting dim
A preacher man comes and tells me
Repent, it s time to pray
You only have to lose once
But you never always win
I smile at him with my last words,
And this is what I ll say:
-
[Chorus]
-
Come on and get me, you twist of fate
I m standing right here Mr. Destiny
If you want to talk, well then I ll relate
If you don t, so what, cuz you don t scare me
But still I let it ride
No sudden movements
I ease my hand real slow
Then my hands are like lightning
And the bullets start to fly
I was almost in the clear too
With just inches left to go
-
[Chorus]
And, if it s a fool who likes to rush in
And if it s the angel who never does try
And if it s me who will lose or win
Then I ll make my best guess and I won t care why
C mon and get me, you twist of fate
I m standing right here Mr. Destiny
If you want to talk, then I ll relate
If you don t, so what, cause you don t scare me
-
Time comes when I m older
And a new kid hits the street
They ll say he s fast and he looks for me
And he says I m going down
And though I try to avoid this man
Eventually we ll meet
He draws faster than I can see and knocks me to the ground
-
[Chorus]
-
So I m lying there in the street there
And the lights are getting dim
A preacher man comes and tells me
Repent, it s time to pray
You only have to lose once
But you never always win
I smile at him with my last words,
And this is what I ll say:
-
[Chorus]
-
Come on and get me, you twist of fate
I m standing right here Mr. Destiny
If you want to talk, well then I ll relate
If you don t, so what, cuz you don t scare me
