Heartbreak Kid Lyrics - Singles - Icehouse

Dusty wind blew 'cross the high plains 

As the stranger rode into town 

With a certain reputation 

For the ladies and the gun 

Walked to the barstool casual 

Just as easy as you please 

He was bound to do some damage 

With those Valentino eyes 

Well, the barmaid was an angel 

And she looked so out of place 

And she said her name was Sunset 

She was different from the rest 

And she couldn't help but notice 

The moment he walked through the door 

That the gunman was something special 

And the bullet found it's score 

And the one mistake you make is just enough 

And that one mistake is, boy, you talk too tough 

Only takes a single bullet 

To bring the fastest trigger down 

Only takes a pretty woman 

Put a gunman underground 

And you may hear the same old story 

In every town, on every street 

The story of Sunset 

And the Heartbreak Kid 

Dirty rain soaked through the doorway 

Of an upper westside bar 

And the TV news was talking 

To the crowd of people there 

Well, the kid was always reckless 

He said, "I never stay too long" 

And when she knew that he would leave her 

Sunset shot that gunman down 

And the one mistake you make was just enough 

And that one mistake was, boy, you talk too tough 

Only takes a single bullet 

To bring the fastest trigger down 

Only takes a pretty woman 

Put a gunman underground 

And you may hear the same old story 

In every town, on every street 

The story of Sunset 

And the Heartbreak Kid 

The story of Sunset 

And the Heartbreak Kid
