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!
