Under the Gun

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)
