Jim Ed Brown and the Browns "The Gun, the Gold and the Girl" |
(Harlan Howard - Billy Mize) I had to have the gun to get the gold And I had to have the gold to get the girl. She wanted things I couldn't buy, I knew I'd lose her love She was everything in life that I've been dreaming of And desperation one dark night began my life a crime I knew where someone captured a gun, now the gun was mine. I had to have the gun to get the gold And I had to have the gold to get the girl. I robbed and stole, I even killed to win her for my own I found her in another's arms one night when I came home I drew my gun they tried to run but never made the door By their side I threw the gun I'd never leave no more. I wouldn't need the gun to get the gold I wouldn't need the gold to get the girl. Now very soon I'll meet my doom the scuffle's just outside When I found her in his arms that's when I really died Time draws near, I hear the footsteps comin' down the hall And as I die the reason why will haunt me most of all. I had to have the gun to get the gold And I had to have the gold to get the girl. I had to have the gun to get the gold And I had to have the gold to get the girl... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
