Lyrics

Once I was a gamblin' man I kept my pistol by my hand Got my work done by the light of the moon Evil deeds made up my mind I traded peace for troubled times Wickedness and whiskey were my fuel Oh but now I keep locked away I might've hung up my shotgun But I didn't put it up so high That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way Once I had a good run But I hung up my shotgun No one lives that life too long Just in time somebody came along With her help, I just might save myself Sometimes I wake up at night Dreams of fire burnin' bright Pray that I don't ever lose control And so now I keep locked away I might've hung up my shotgun But I didn't put it up so high That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way Once I had a good run But I hung up my shotgun I might've hung up my shotgun But I didn't put it up so high That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way Once I had a good run But I hung up my shotgun Yeah I hung up my shotgun
