Smokin’ Gun

[Verse 1]
From both sides of the track
Out here in Nashville, Tennessee
They ain't rolling out red carpets
For a sinning man like me
But if they did I'd probably walk 'em
Through them pearly gates of Hell
I'd meet the devil at the crossroads
Shake his hand and wish him well

[Chorus]
And there's smoke on the water
Yeah, there's fire on the sun
If this river ain't made of whiskey
Then there ain't no bullets in this smokin' gun

[Post-Chorus]
Load it up

[Verse 2]
I've always been a prayin' man
And I'll be one 'til I'm gone
But there ain't a prayer that strong enough
To right me from my wrongs
So I'll just sit here and I'll raise a glass to the men I could have been
And thank the good Lord up above ah that I ain't none of them

[Chorus]
And there's smoke on the water
Yeah, there's fire on the sun
If this river ain't made of whiskey
Then there ain't no bullets in this smokin' gun

[Chorus]
And there's smoke on the water
Yeah, there's fire on the sun
If this river ain't made of whiskey
Then there ain't no bullets in this smokin'
Call my bluff and I'm still hoping
Ain't no bullets in this smokin' gun
