Lyrics
I should be shutting down the shop
I'm going down in flames
This old gunslingers been shot
I ain't no Jesse James
How do you know when that bullet hits the mark
Shot twice through the head and once more
Through the heart
It don't make no difference
To this God damned fool
Cuz I ain't got a clue
On playing by your rules
Once you been killed
You just lay down and die
Instead of playing dead
And pretending to be alive
How do you know when that bullet hits the mark
Shot twice through the head and
Once more through the heart
I'll be back come morning
Come hell or high tide
If you don't see me tomorrow
Just tell them that I died
There's got to be a place
Up there on boot hill
For dreamers like me
Who never got the skill
How do you know when that bullet hits the mark
Shot twoce through the head and
Once more through the heart
