Lyrics Suzy Bogguss

Suzy Bogguss

Under the Gun

Just when I thought I had kissed love goodbye

And ridden off into the sunset

This hip shooting cowboy steps up and says

"Reach for the sky"

I could tell he was fast, I could tell he was smart

I could tell he was looking for trouble

He was fixing to take his best shot

At my bullet proof heart

I'm under the gun, I'm under attack

The sights are lined up, the hammer is back

I'm under the gun and it's going down to the wire

I'm under the gun, he's aiming to win

He's thinking he might get under my skin

If he hits me with his fire, I'm under the gun

Just when I thought I had gotten away

With all of the hearts I had stolen

He looks in my eyes and says

"Crimes of the heart do not pay"

It was too late to talk, it was too late to run

It was too late to hold up this showdown

It was already all said and done

I was under the gun

I'm under the gun, I'm under attack

The sights are lined up, the hammer is back

I'm under the gun and it's going down to the wire

I'm under the gun, he's aiming to win

He's thinking he might get under my skin

If he hits me with his fire, oh, I'm under the gun

I'm under the gun, I'm under attack

The sights are lined up, the hammer is back

I'm under the gun and it's going down to the wire

I'm under the gun
