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

Chorus: Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun

Gunsmoke on the horizon,

I grabbed my horse and run

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

Chorus: 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

I've got a little livin' on my mind

Aces and eights, ha-ha-ha-ha

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 showing

But my back was up against the wall

Chorus: Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun

Gunsmoke on the horizon,

I grabbed my horse and run

C'mon Thunder
