Bullets In The Gun Lyrics - Bullets In The Gun - Toby Keith

They used to call me lightening 

I was always quick to strike 

Had everything I own 

in the saddles on my bike 

I had a reputation 

for never staying very long 

just like a wild and restless drifter 

like a cowboy in a song 

I met a darkhaired 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, yea

Never see it comin' 

just hits you by surprise 

it's that cold place in your soul 

and the fire in her eyes 

makes you come together 

like wild horses when they run 

now the cards are on the table and 

the bullets in the gun 

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 ride for the cowboy 

that ain't what I pay you for 

Photos 

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 

then tied his hands behind him 

and blindfolded his eyes 

said if you're dumb enough to chase us man 

you're dumb enough to die 

Never see it comin' 

just hits you by surprise 

it's that cold place in your soul 

and the fire in her eyes 

makes you come together 

like wild horses when they run 

now the cards are on the table and 

the bullets in the gun 

we rode across the border 

down into Mexico 

when you're runnin' from the law 

ain't that where everybody goes 

we came upon a town 

with a name I couldn't spell 

she gave me what I came for 

in that Mexican motel 

I woke up beside her 

to the sound of running feet 

50 Federales locked and loaded in the street 

she grabbed my 44 

i grabbed the money in the sack 

I kissed her for the last time 

and we headed out the back 

They were almost on us 

And every heartbeat pounded 

the only thing that's left to do 

when they got you all surrounded 

she fired that old pistol 

but we didn't stand a prayer 

money hit the gravel 

man, bullets filled the air 

Never see it comin' 

just hits you by surprise 

it's that cold place in your soul 

and the fire in her eyes 

makes you come together 

like wild horses when they run 

now the cards are on the table and 

the bullets in the gun
