|
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 |
|
Chorus: 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 |
|
Chorus: 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 |
|
Chorus: Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun |
|
Gunsmoke on the horizon, |
|
I grabbed my horse and run |
|
C'mon Thunder |
