Killer on the Run

She rode into town one morning
Was a hot and dusty day
She's a desperado so they say
Her fame had spread and all the towns folk said
How she'd steal a love away
Left many a good heart in its grave

I was young, I was out for fun
And I did not understand
Why she was most wanted by every man
And I knew I'd have to try, to win her love or die
So I took my heart in hand
I could beat her if anybody can

I told 'em I was going out to face her
Although I'd heard about the way she'd always won
And they just smiled and said now boy you'd best remember
She'll shoot you down like A Killer On The Run

I acted tough but she called my bluff
And we met out on the Street
The finest woman I had ever seen
But she gave up her arms, She showed me all her charms
And I knew that I was beat
My will was gone and she brought me to my knees

I believed I could be the sole survivor
That she would settle down and her playin' round would be done
And though I never cut her out to be a liar
She shot me down like A Killer On The Run

She told me I would be the sole survivor
And I counted all the notches on her gun
And though I never cut her out to be a liar
She shot me down like A Killer On The Run

Shot me down like A Killer On The Run
Shot me down like A Killer On The Run
