Big Guns Lyrics - Jinx - Rory Gallagher

Well, you think you're sitting pretty 

But you're sitting on a powder keg 

Well, you think you're standing steady 

But you're weak as a matchstick leg 

Well, there's a rumble in the city 

There's a call out for your head 

Now isn't it a pity 

Your future's just a lump of lead? 

But now you're running scared 

You've got no place to run 

You're caught between the law and the Big Guns 

Well, it's a long way from the pool halls 

Through the rackets and the petty crime 

Well, you thought you were a tough one 

But you've bitten off too much this time 

You've stepped on the wrong toes 

Now look, who you've upset 

Well, you walked on the wrong toes 

You've got your picture on the police gazette 

Well, now you're running scared 

Got no place to run 

You're caught between the law and the Big Guns 

Your back's against a wall 

You don't like it there at all 

Now your world's about to fall 

You got no friends, you can call 

Well, you never felt so gritty 

And sweat's pouring down your back 

You're like a tiger in the jungle 

And you can't find no way back 

You hadn't played your cards right 

You hadn't seen the signs 

Well, you tried to run the whole game 

Now you've come to the end of the line 

Well, now you're running scared 

You've got no place to run 

You're standing face to face with the Big Guns
