Under The Gun

<br>I still can picture him<br>His hands in his back pockets<br>He wasn`t much for words <br>But when the wise kids made a racket <br>He just had to go downtown<br>Throw his weight around for starting over<br>"Say did you hear I`ve got a band?"<br>Some guys I know from LA<br>Put on Rio Grande<br>I`ll pay you back next Friday<br>You know it sure ain`t big<br>Just some cats I dig<br>They said; "They`d do the gig"<br>Oh Desperado<br>Why don`t you spend your life in Colorado?<br>Oh restless shadow <br>Out in the blue hills<br>You`re feeling hollow<br>Oh El Diablo<br>Why did you spend your life in California?<br>I should have warned ya<br>No place to go now but falling over<br>Some guys can`t make it on the run<br>Under the gun<br>Not for the younger<br>Oh Jack Daniels I feel your hunger<br>I know you did your best<br>But you thought that you did not<br>I wish that I had known <br>Before I heard the last shot<br>You know it`s not a sin<br>That little badge of tin<br>Just a momento<br>So sad your love remained<br>My comrades lost in battle<br>The music was a din from London to Seattle<br>We all made you play and all our yesterdays<br>Are starting over<br>Oh Desperado<br>Why don`t you spend your life in Colorado?<br>Oh restless shadow <br>Out in the blue hills<br>You`re feeling hollow<br>Oh, El Diablo<br>Why did you spend your life in California?<br>I should have warned ya<br>No place to go now but falling over<br>Ready to die<br>No he`s ready to die
