Lyrics
The fool he rushes in
As a man sets down his gin
And he pulls out a gun
Everybody runs
Someone gets blown away
A crime that did not pay
(bartender says) the drinks are on the house
As everybody laughs out load
Pre-chorus You never can tell
Don't say it won't happen to you now
You never can tell
Doesn't matter if your day is through now
Chorus The fool, it's a game now
The fool, wants to play now
The fool, it's a shame
And he's gonna waste the rest of his life
The fool, he breaks in
As a woman tucks her kids into bed
And he pulls out a knife
As she shuts out the lights
pre-chorus Chorus
The fool made his mistake
One thing he could not contemplate
Her husband had a gun
The blood starts to run.......oh its too late to run
