Gunsmoke

Lyrics

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
