Gunsmoke

Lyrics for Gunsmoke

Well, I rode into town with my ear to the ground Looking for the right hand to play I felt just right in the heat of the night I'd ridden many miles that day I heard of a place where men got together Playin' and layin' it down I'm going in to win, but Lord, what a sin I didn't know they'd gun me down Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run (oh) Well, the dealer was blind, and I was trying to find A way to keep the winnings I'd found The smoke was thick, the tension was thicker I still thought they'd gun me down Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run I didn't come into this ol' two-horse town To get all shot up I've got a little livin' on my mind Aces and eights Now, the dealer dealt me eight, and I had my straight I knew the other men would call The booze was a-flowin', my cards were showin' But my back was up against the wall Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run C'mon, Thunder Whoa!
