before the bullets fly

Lyrics

well i hate to leave you, baby, i just can't waste no time, you've got this jealous husband, i'm too, too young to die, i gotta move on away from 'round here, just before those bullets fly, always been a gambler, takin' chances all of my life, bustin' up love affairs, just like shootin' dice, i staged the game, girl, that's what keeps me satisfied, and i can leave here in the nick of time, just before those bullets fly, i lost my first bet, when i was twenty-one, found myself in new orleans, on the wrong end of a gun, the stakes keep getting higher, but i'm still satisfied, by knowin' when the need became, just before those bullets fly, i'm knowing when the need became, just before those bullets fly, i'm knowing.
