Karaoke Bullets in the Gun Toby Keith

They used to call me lightnin'

I was always quick to strike

Had everything I own in the saddles on my bike

I had a reputation for never stayin' very long

Just like a wild and restless drifter

Like a cowboy in a song

I met a dark haired beauty where they lay the whiskey down

In southern Arizona

In a little border town

She had to dance for money in that dusty old saloon

I dropped a dollar in the jukebox

Played that girl a tune yeah

Never see it comin'

It just hits you by surprise

It's that cold place in your soul

That fire in her eyes

That makes you come together

Like wild horses when they run

Now the cards are on the table and the bullets in the gun yeah

She was sittin' on my lap

We still had shots to kill

When a man pulled up who owned the bar in a Cadillac DeVille

He grabbed her by her raven hair and threw her on the floor

Said no free rides for the cowboys

That ain't what I pay you for

No

She jumped up and grabbed my pistol

Stuck it in the fat man's back

Said open up the safe and put your money in the sack

Tied his hands behind him

Put a blindfold on his eyes

Said if you're dumb enough to chase us man you're dumb enough to die

Never see it comin'

It just hits you by surprise

It's that cold place in your soul

That fire in her eyes

That makes you come together

Like wild horses when they run

Now the cards are on the table and the bullets in the gun yeah

We rode across the border

Down into Mexico

When you're runnin' from the law ain't that where everybody goes

We came to a town with a name I couldn't spell

She gave me what I came for in that Mexican motel

I woke up to sirens and the sound of runnin' feet

There were fifty Federales locked and loaded in the street

She grabbed my forty-four

I grabbed the money in the sack

She kissed me for the last time and we headed out the back

Every gun was on us and every heartbeat pounded

There's only one thing left to do when they got you all surrounded

She fired that old pistol but we didn't stand a prayer

The money hit the gravel

Bullets filled the air yeah

Never see it comin'

It just hits you by surprise

It's that cold place in your soul

That fire in her eyes

That makes you come together

Like wild horses when they run

Now the cards are on the table and the bullets in the gun

Bullets in the gun

Bullets in the gun

Bullets in the gun
