shoot from the hip

high noon in a gun slingin' town

steel spurs klinking on the red dirt ground

saloon doors swinging wide open

it's about to go down

outlaws ridin' out of the hills

shootin' moonshine and shotgun shells

a bunch of hell raisers wanna send you to your maker

no time to saddle up so you gotta act now and

shoot from the hip

ask questions later

shoot from the hip c'mon

sometimes the only peace maker

is a hairpin trigger in a fingertip

you gotta shoot from the hip

shoot from the hip

the dust settles

the barrels go cold

and it's dueces wild at the watering hole

turns out cards and hard liquor don't mix too well

and this joker with an ace up his sleeve

and a midnight special where nobody can see

i show him four of a kind

he gets red in the eye

he flips the table over

i reach for mine and

shoot from the hip

ask questions later

shoot from the hip c'mon

sometimes the only peace maker

is a hairpin trigger in a fingertip

you gotta shoot from the hip

shoot from the hip

sometimes the only peace maker

is a hairpin trigger in a fingertip

you won't find me six feet under

you won't find me takin' cover

cuz i'm more than the roar of the thunder

shoot from the hip

ask questions later

shoot from the hip c'mon

sometimes the only peace maker

is a hairpin trigger in a fingertip

you gotta shoot from the hip

shoot from the hip

sometimes the only peace maker

is a hairpin trigger in a fingertip

you gotta shoot from the hip

shoot from the hip

shoot from the hip oh

shoot from the hip
