"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...
