歌词
[Verse 1]
【原翻译有误】我出了堪萨斯城直奔墨西哥
I rode out of Kansas City heading south to Mexico
我正在避风头，离开了我深爱的姑娘
I was running dodging danger, left the girl that I loved so
堪萨斯城和我的过往一起远去
Far behind lay Kansas City and the past that I had earned
我六把枪上的二十个V型标就是我学到的所有（传说西部枪手杀人后会在枪柄刻上V型记号）
Twenty notches on my six gun marked the lessons I had learned
多少次我受雇开枪只为能有地方睡一晚
[Verse 2]
直到每晚都有死在我手上的鬼魂出没在身旁
Many times I sold my fast gun for a place to lay my head
我再也没法忍受这种要命的生活
Till the nights began to haunt me by the men that I lay dead
所以我告别了珍妮，成了一个亡命枪手
Couldn't stand it any longer with this life that I'd begun
夕阳西下时我到了阿马里洛
So I said good-bye to Jeannie and became a running gun
但我的心仍留在堪萨斯城的爱人身旁
[Verse 3]
在我微笑着吻别她时
I rode into Amarillo as the sun sank in the west
我说会请她在老墨西哥和我重逢
My thoughts in Kansas City and the girl that I love best
这时黑暗中有个冰冷的声音叫我别回头
As I smiled and kissed her gently and then turned away to go
我不情愿地下了马让自己踩在土地上
Said I'd send for her to meet me when I reached old Mexico
他说他对我的快枪和我犯过的事早有耳闻
[Verse 4]
和这个赏金猎人的战局我们势均力敌
I had barely left the saddle and my foot just touched the ground
我早知道我们总会碰上，因为他枪法快如闪电
When a cold voice from the shadows told me not to turn around
他射出子弹时我的枪还在枪套里
Said he new about my fast gun knew the price paid by the law
浑身力量消散时，我看到他扬长而去
Challenged by a bounty hunter I turned around to draw
我清楚他总有一天也会死的和我一样
[Verse 5]
现在我浑身力量散去，视线也变得模糊
I knew someday I'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed
而我最后想起的人仍是珍妮
My own gun stayed in leather as his bullet tore it's path
还有曾在我们梦中的家
As my strength was slowly fading, I could see him walk away
哦先生求求你告诉她
And I knew that where I lie today, he too must lie some day
她仍然是我的唯一
[Verse 6]
但当女人爱上了一个亡命枪手，这感情注定没结果
Now my strength is slowly fading and my eyes are growing dim
亡命枪手，亡命枪手
And my thoughts return to Jeannie
And the home that we had planned
Oh please tell her won't you mister
That she's still the only one
But a woman's love is waisted when she loves a running gun
Running gun, running gun
