Robert Cray - Smoking Gun Lyrics






I get a constant busy signal
When I call you on the phone
I get a strong uneasy feeling
You're not sitting there alone
I'm having nasty nasty visions
And baby you're in every one, yeah
And I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with
A still hot and smokin gun

Maybe you want to end it,
You've had your fill of my kind of fun
But you don't know how to tell me
And you know that I'm not that dumb
I put 2 and 1 together
And you know that's not an easy sum
And I know just where to find you with
A still hot and smokin gun

I'm standing here bewildered,
I can't remember just what I've done
I can hear the sirens whining,
My eyes blinded by the sun
I know that I should be running,
My heart's beating just like a drum
Now they've knocked me down and takin it,
A still hot and smokin gun

Yeah still hot and smokin gun
Yes they've taken it
Still hot and smokin gun
Oh they've taken it
Still hot and smokin gun
Knocked me down, taken it

Robert Cray Smoking Gun Comments
  1. i.... ....

    One of the very best blues guitarists/vocalists out there. I bought the Strong Persuader album when it came out in 1986 and played it a million times since then.

    I understand Robert grew up in the Arrowhead area of Lakewood, Wa when he was a teen. We lived in the same area. My older sister told me she used to see Robert hanging out at the 7-11 in Arrowhead all the time. She said Robert's sister was also in some classes with her at Lakes High School. Who would have known the amazing person Robert would grow up to be! I wish I could have met him back then.

    Saw him for free once, never will again

  10. P.... ....

    The sound, the guitar talent, the vocals, and the blues story telling...Man I LOVE this isshhh!!! This album or ANY of the songs on it didn't get the national attention it deserved. Robery Cray is a bad, BAD MAN!!!

  11. C.... C....

    Just an instant Classic!

  12. J.... P....

    Robert Cray is one heck of a guitarist totally reminds me of Eric Clapton do you ever seen the song Old love they're like hand-in-hand they sound the same they're back and forth and they're right on time and their styles are so similar. It's just like Jimi Hendrix if he was still on the planet and Stevie Ray Vaughan perfect comparison they could tear it up cuz they're guitar styles are so much alike so with that my friends out there all I got to say is God I wish you didn't take the good ones and gosh darn it all 4 a.m. clean when I do my philosophical opinion that if you're musically inclined as far as your listening habits U2 would see what I'm talking about. Anyways thank you rock and roll Stars I wish you were all here on the planet still playing especially the last two but you know what you will live on in my mind and the great thing about us I listen to you forever anybody else is got good comparisons between two artists has that special almost like twin brothers the guitar sound the same same style hosted let me see it... JP opinion for the evening in the music world peace everybody out there I Remember music is the key which builds heart so when you're down and out put on a song and just start playing air guitar or sing it out loud

    my brain comes up with some image of 90s American films

    I think of From Dusk Til Dawn - mainly because its opening song by The Blasters shares a similar riff.

    What a gem

  56. D.... C....

    Where are my Cray CDs? ... Mutha' humpers!!

  57. G.... B....

    I saw him years ago in Denver for a free concert. The grey guitar and the red one are the only two he played. He hits the strings so hard, after each song he exchanges one with a roadie, just tuned. One of my favorite.

  58. L.... B....

    I love this. Love Love Love.

  59. S.... J....

    HELL YES! CAN'T BEAT ROBERT CRAY WHEN YOU FEEL DOWN! ❤💋 my God. Guitars are fnk alright! YA-AaaH! 💋💋💋❤ can't forget that bass. I love it! And they r all having fun! 😎

  60. T.... R....

    Pure beautiful Fender tone!

  61. P.... L....

    I love this song so much. Cray's singing is sublime. I listen and close my eyes and smile, reminiscing about an old girlfriend I foolishly loved so many years ago.

    Don't worry, she's alive and well somewhere.... But in my imagination the rotten bitch is stone cold dead.

  62. p.... b....

    HEY,SHIRLEY-THINKING OF YOU!!

  63. S.... P....

    was this song in the movie They Live?

    That solo!!

  68. c.... v....

    Mahalo Nui. Awesome at the Rainbow Club SEA. WA

  69. M.... W....

    Shared worldwide lol Marilee. Love this

  70. G.... ....

    Can anyone believe this made it onto MTV.....amidst all that filler and drivel of the 80s ?!?!?

  71. c.... j....

    To this day. 6/19/19. I still can't stand how the music business killed the blues in the 90's.

  72. C.... D....

    Awesome! Plain heart no crap. Just blues.

  73. D.... S....

    This man does not get the credit he truly deserves. Not only a talented vocalist, but one of the best guitar players of all time.

    D.... S....

    he was exactly in the same era of stevie ray vaughn's fame, and today we all know that stevie didnt left much for other players in the 80's blues era

    D.... S....

    Man he's as COOL AS STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN - 👊💯🇦🇺🙏

    D.... S....

    @Grant Wilkie hes very good and as cool as SRV, but SRV was too good and he clearly stole the show

    D.... S....

    In part, I think it's because the production on this album is not great. Really, the sound quality on this record is just not great, even though the material is strong and his vocals are awesome.

    D.... S....

    I think his voice is quite good

  74. R.... R....

    I so love Robert Cray and I have since seeing him playing live and up close, in Eugene, Oregon all those years ago .

  75. M.... M....

    Saw him last night in Huntington, NY. Phenomenal show, great opening acts as well. What a smooth soulful player!!

  76. d.... ....

    🤘😑🤘
    Tomorrow night Wilkes-Barre PA!

    ROBERT CRAY

  77. M.... M....

    Robert cray sings and plays and never over the top,this was a tight cut and his band stayed on point

  78. T.... L....

    I bought the album when it came out in '85 and played it about a thousand times. The feel, clean tone and phrasing he employs is so pure. Beautiful. Roberts voice is as good as his playing. Slays me!

  79. J.... W....

    If this fulfill your cravings then I feel for you.

  80. S.... K....

    One of THE best albums ever!!!!!
    "I'm havin' nasty nasty visions, and baby you're in every one."

  85. P.... T....

    The fact that this absolute gem of a man was with Stevie Ray on the last night of his life really gives me comfort. Who better to be with really. I absolutely love this song. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

  86. s.... s....

    great band

  87. J.... W....

    He is so hot especially the way he strums that guitar! A fine chocolate treat for a bad night.

  88. C.... B....
