RE SOL7
I rode out of Kansas City,going/ south to Mexico
LA SOL7 RE
I was/ running dodging danger,left the/ girl that I loved so
SOL7
Far behind lay Kansas City and the/ past that I had earned
LA SOL7 RE
Twenty/ notches on my six gun marked the/ lessons I had learned
SOL7 RE
Many times I sold my fast gun for a/ place to lay my head
SOL7 RE LA
Till the/ nights began to haunt me by the/ men that I lay dead
RE SOL7
Couldn't/ stand it any longer with the/ life that I'd begun
LA SOL7 RE
So I/ said good-bye to Jeannie and/ became a running gun
SOL7
I rode into Amarillo as the sun sank in the west
LA SOL7 RE
My thoughts in Kansas City and the girl that I love best
SOL7
As I smiled and kissed her gently and then turned around to go
LA SOL7 RE
Said I'd send for her to meet me when I reached old Mexico
SOL7 RE
I had barely left the saddle and my foot just touched the ground
SOL7 RE LA
When a cold voice from the shadows told me not to turn around
RE SOL7
Said he new about my fast gun,new the price paid by the law
LA SOL7 RE
Challenged by a bounty hunter,so I turned around to draw
RE SOL7
I knew someday I'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed
LA SOL7 RE
My own gun stayed in leather as his bullet tore it's path
SOL7
As my strength was slowly fading,I could see him walk away
LA SOL7 RE
And I knew that where I lie today,he to must lie some day
SOL7 RE
Now my strength is slowly fading and my eyes are growing dim
SOL7
And my thoughts return to Jeannie
RE LA
and the home that we had planned
RE
Oh please tell her won't you mister
SOL7
that she's still the only one
LA SOL7 RE
But a woman's love is waisted when she loves a running gun
Cheers!!!
