Under the Gun lyrics

See the man ridin' high in the desert 

near the Rio Grande,

he runs for his life, doesn't sleep, 

doesn't take time to understand

'cause the girl that he loved went away 

and ran off with another man.

But he followed them both 

and he shot at the throat, 

couldn't stop his hand,

so now he's under the gun.

He was born and raised and he lived 

like the son of an honest man

and who would've thought that one day 

he might gun down another man?

But his heart gave away to the gun in his hand,

couldn't stop it, no, so now he's gotta run 

and he's weak from the sun,

got nowhere to go.

Because he's under the gun, (under the gun)

just a fugitive out on the run,

under the gun, (under the gun)

never see the setting sun.

He's under the gun.

So long!

Well, now he's on the run 

'cause he's under the gun

with nowhere to go.

Well, pray for him, sister, 

watch out for him, mister,

he'll let you know.

Because he's under the gun, (under the gun)

just a fugitive out on the run,

under the gun, (under the gun)

never see the setting sun.

He's under the gun (under the gun).

Because he's under the gun (under the gun).

'Cause he's under the gun (under the gun).

'Cause he's under the gun (under the gun).

'Cause he's under the gun (under the gun). 

'Cause he's under the gun (under the gun).
