Intro

     

Verse

Well I rode into town with my ear to the ground
Looking for the right hand to play
I felt just right in the heat of the night
I'd ridden many miles that day
I heard of a place where men got together
Playing and laying it down
I'm going in to win, but Lord, what a sin
I didn't know they'd gun me down

Chorus

Gun smoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gun smoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run

Interlude

   

Verse 2

Well the dealer was blind and I was trying to find
A way to keep the winnings I'd found
The smoke was thick, the tension was thicker
I still thought they'd gun me down

Chorus 2

Gun smoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gun smoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run

Interlude

   

Bridge

I didn't come into this ol' two horse town to get all shot
I've got a little living on my mind aces and eights, ha-ha-ha-ha

Solo

     
   

Verse 3

Now the dealer dealt me eight and I had my straight
I knew the other men would call
The booze was a flowing, my cards were showing
But my back was up against the wall

Chorus 3

Gun smoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gun smoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run
