They used to call me lightening
I was always quick to strike
D
Had everything I own
In the saddles on my back
A
I had a reputation
For never stayin' very long
E
Just like a wild and restless drifter
D
Like a cowboy in a song
E
I met a dark haired beauty
Where they laid the whiskey down
D
In southern Arizona
In a little border town
A
She had to dance for money
In that dusty old saloon
E
I dropped a dollar in the jukebox
D E
Played that girl a tune, yeah
A
Never see it comin'
D A
It just hits you by surprise
E
It's that cold place in your soul
B
And that fire in her eyes
D
That makes you come together
A
Like wild horses when they run
E
Now the cards are on the table
D
And the bullets in the gun, yeah
E D A E D)
She was sittin' on my lap
We still had shots to kill
E D A E D E)
She jumped up and grabbed my pistol
Stuck it in the fat man's back
A
Never see it comin'
D A
It just hits you by surprise
E
It's that cold place in your soul
B
And that fire in her eyes
D
That makes you come together

Like wild horses when they run

Now the cards are on the table
D
And the bullets in the gun, yeah

We rode across the border
Down into Mexico
E D A E D E)
I woke up to sirens
And the sound of runnin' feet
E
Every gun was on us
And every heartbeat poundin'
D
There's only one thing left to do
When they got you all surrounded
A
She fired that old pistol
But we didn't stand a prayer
E
Money hit the gravel
D
Bullets filled the air
A
Never see it comin'
D A
It just hits you by surprise
E
It's that cold place in your soul
B
And that fire in her eyes
D
That makes you come together
A
Like wild horses when they run
E
Now the cards are on the table

And the bullets in the gun, yeah
Bullets in the gun
