Running Gun - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
Written by:Glaser[00:00:02]
I rode out of kansas city going south to Mexico[00:00:04]
I was running dodging danger left the girl that I loved so[00:00:08]
Far behind lay kansas city and the past that I had earned[00:00:13]
Twenty notches on my six gun marked the lessons I had learned[00:00:18]
Many times I sold my fast gun for a[00:00:23]
Place to lay my head[00:00:26]
Till the nights began to haunt me by the men[00:00:27]
That I left dead[00:00:30]
Couldn't stand it any longer with this life that I'd begun[00:00:32]
So I said good bye to Jeannie and became a running gun[00:00:37]
I rode into amarillo as the sun sank in the west[00:00:43]
My thoughts in kansas city and the girl that I love best[00:00:47]
As I smiled and kissed her gently and then turned[00:00:53]
Away to go[00:00:56]
Said I'd send for her to meet me when I[00:00:57]
Reached old mexico[00:00:59]
I had barely left the saddle and my[00:01:02]
Foot just touched the ground[00:01:05]
When a cold voice from the shadows told me not[00:01:06]
To turn around[00:01:09]
Said he knew about my fast gun knew the price[00:01:12]
Paid by the law[00:01:15]
Challenged by a bounty hunter so I turned around to draw[00:01:16]
I knew someday I'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed[00:01:22]
My own gun stood in leather as his bullet tore it's path[00:01:26]
As my strength was slowly fading I could see him walk away[00:01:31]
And I knew that where I lie tonight[00:01:35]
He too must lie some day[00:01:37]
Now a crowd is slowly gathering but[00:01:40]
My eyes are growing dim[00:01:43]
And my thoughts return to Jeannie and the home that[00:01:45]
We had planned[00:01:48]
Oh please tell her won't you mister that she's still[00:01:50]
The only one[00:01:53]
But a woman's love is wasted when she loves a running gun[00:01:54]
Running gun[00:02:01]
Running gun[00:02:05]
