gunsmoke

well i rode into town with my ear to the ground

looking for the right hand to play

i felt just right in the heat of the night

i'd ridden many miles that day

i heard of a place where men got together

playin' and layin' it down

i'm going in to win

but lord

what a sin

i didn't know they'd gun me down

gunsmoke on the horizon

hiding the setting sun

gunsmoke on the horizon

i grabbed my horse and run

well the dealer was blind and i was trying to find

a way to keep the winnings i'd found

the smoke was thick

the tension was thicker

i still thought they'd gun me down

gunsmoke on the horizon

hiding the setting sun

gunsmoke on the horizon

i grabbed my horse and run

i didn't come into this ol' two horse town to get all shot

i've got a little livin' on my mind

aces and eights

ha-ha-ha-ha

now the dealer dealt me eight and i had my straight

i knew the other men would call

the booze was a flowin'

my cards were showing

but my back was up against the wall

gunsmoke on the horizon

hiding the setting sun

gunsmoke on the horizon

i grabbed my horse and run

c'mon thunder
