The Gunfighter - Blues Traveler

I’m taken aback

But still I let it ride

No sudden movements

I ease my hand real slow

Then my hands are like lightning

And the bullets start to fly

I was almost in the clear too

With just inches left to go

And if it’s the fool who likes to rush in

And if it’s the angel who never does try

And if it’s me who will lose or win

Then I’ll make my best guess and I won’t care why

C’mon and get me you twist of fate

I’m standing right here Mr. Destiny

If you want to talk well then I’ll relate

If you don’t, so what, 'cause you don’t scare me

Time comes when I’m older

And a new kid hits the street

They’ll say he’s fast and he looks for me

And he says I’m going down

And though I try to avoid this man

Eventually we’ll meet

He’ll draws faster than I can see

And knock me to the ground

And if it’s the fool who likes to rush in

And if it’s the angel who never does try

And if it’s me who will lose or win

Then I’ll make my best guess and I won’t care why

C’mon and get me you twist of fate

I’m standing right here Mr. Destiny

If you want to talk well then I’ll relate

If you don’t, so what, 'cause you don’t scare me

So I’m lying in the street there

And the lights are getting dim

Preacher may come tell me

Repent it’s time to pray

You only have to lose once

But you never always win

And I smile at him with my last words

And this is what I say

Well if it’s the fool who likes to rush in

And if it’s the angel who never does try

And if it’s me who will lose or win

Then I’ll make my best guess and I won’t care why

C’mon and get me you twist of fate

I’m standing right here Mr. Destiny

If you want to talk well then I’ll relate

If you don’t, so what, 'cause you don’t scare me

C’mon and get me you twist of fate

I’m standing right here Mr. Destiny

If you want to talk well then I’ll relate

If you don’t, so what, 'cause you don’t scare me
