Before The Bullets Fly

Before The Bullets Fly


You know I hate to leave you babe
But I just can't waste my time....
Well you've got this jealous husband
And I'm far too young to die,
I must move on away from here
Just before the bullets fly


I've always been a gambler
Takin' chances all my life....
Always smashin' those love affairs
Just like shootin' dice,
I staged the game girl
That's what keeps me satisfied
And I can leave it in the nick of time
Just before the bullets fly


I lost my first bet
When I was twenty-one
Found myself in New Orleans
On the wrong end of a gun....
The stakes keep getting higher......
But somehow i Survive,
By knowin' when the need became
Just before the bullets fly
