Gunsmoke

Verse 1

I’m bone dry, illusions lied, ridin’ back into Mexico
And if I stop now
I’ll prob’ly die and soak to the cactus rows
Put these spurs into this horse
Not much left for us to go
And I think I see a village coming up
So no hasty moves until I know

Chorus

These cowboys don’t want gun smoke tonight
I’m a California city slicker
Two timin’ die a tryin’ tonight
These cowboys don’t want gun smoke tonight
I’m the devil’s ditch digger
If pride’ll pull the trigger
Gamblin’ man tonight

Verse 2

And I can feel the glaring eyes staring at my back
And keepin’ them locked on the gringo
And check what he has
But I say you’d better not, please don’t shoot me
I’ll stop my horsе at the saloon for some whiskey

Chorus

Thеse cowboys don’t want gun smoke tonight
I’m a California city slicker
Two timin’ die a tryin’ tonight
These cowboys don’t want gun smoke tonight
I’m the devil’s ditch digger
If pride’ll pull the trigger
Gamblin’ man tonight
Gamblin’ man tonight

Verse 3

I’m bone dry, illusions lied, riding back into Mexico
And put a cross in the ground where I lay
And hands together when you pray
