The Gunfighter Lyrics - Straight On Till Morning - 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 talk, we'll not relate 

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

Time come 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 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, we'll not 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 men come and tells me 

Repent it's time to pray 

You only have to lose once 

But you never always win 

I smile at his modest words 

This is where I've sinned 

Woo yeah, 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, we'll not 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, we'll not relate 

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