Toby Keith - Bullets In The Gun Lyrics






They used to call me lightning
I was always quick to strike
Had everything I own
In the saddles on my bike
I had a reputation
For never staying very long
Just like a wild and restless drifter
Like a cowboy in a song

I met a darkhaired beauty
Where they lay the whiskey down
In southern Arizona
In a little border town
She had to dance for money
In that dusty old saloon
I dropped a dollar in the jukebox
Played that girl a tune, yeah

Never see it comin'
It just hits you by surprise
It's that cold place in your soul
And the fire in her eyes
That makes you come together
Like wild horses when they run
Now the cards are on the table and
The bullets in the gun

She was sittin' on my lap
We still had shots to kill
When a man pulled up
Who owned the bar
In a Cadillac Deville
Grabbed her by her raven hair
And threw her on the floor
Said, "No free rides for the cowboys,
That ain't what I pay you for, no"

She jumped up and grabbed my pistol
Stuck it in the fat man's back
Said, "Open up the safe
And put your money in the sack"
Then tied his hands behind him
And put a blindfold on his eyes
Said, "If you're dumb enough to chase us, man,
You're dumb enough to die"

Never see it comin'
It just hits you by surprise
It's that cold place in your soul
And the fire in her eyes
Makes you come together
Like wild horses when they run
Now the cards are on the table
And the bullets in the gun

We rode across the border
Down into Mexico
When you're runnin' from the law
Ain't that where everybody goes
We came upon a town
With a name I couldn't spell
She gave me what I came for
In that Mexican motel

I woke up to sirens
And the sound of running feet
Near 50 Federals locked and loaded in the street
She grabbed my 44
I grabbed the money in the sack
I kissed her for the last time
And we headed out the back

Every gun was on us
And every heartbeat pounded
The only thing that's left to do
When they got you all surrounded
She fired that old pistol
But we didn't stand a prayer
Money hit the gravel
Bullets filled the air

Never see it comin'
Just hits you by surprise
It's that cold place in your soul
And the fire in her eyes
Makes you come together
Like wild horses when they run
Now the cards are on the table and
The bullets in the gun

Bullets in the gun
Bullets in the gun
Bullets in the gun

  2. 1.... B....

    She'd be worth it...

  3. L.... H....

    Still here in Dec 2019...
    Love this song,reminds me of Travis Tritt's Modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Kick ass country songs..

  4. R.... B....

    True moral of the story use a higher capacity gun and revolves won’t cut it in a gunfight you need a AR-15 to even stand a chance of coming out alive and also get further away from were you commit a crime before you stop to rest seriously more 50 to 60 miles away.

  5. H.... M....

    I have had the best and the worst of times with this song all anybody really needs to say is play on toby play on your music is top shelf and I for one in the world love it when Hanks

  6. D.... T....

    Get gone dump the bike get a used car with a temp plate and head east at your leisure.

  7. A.... M....

  12. c.... D....

    ...."ya never see it coming"... pretty accurate statement.

  13. E.... B....

    That's my kind of girl.

  14. �.... ....

    ok, I need to know if this was a true story. years ago I lived in Tucson and I knew a black haired chick whos boyfriend was a biker named lightning. he got his name because he was known to suddenly punch out people who pissed him off, but after hitting onec he would never hit you again. ( or so she told me ) there's a lot in this song at the beginning that makes me wonder. if toby made it up, he got pretty close to reality, like he was channeling real people. never knew what happened to them after 20 years.

  15. I.... ....

    bitches aint loyal: the song

  16. T.... F....

    Yes, this is a direct rip off of Robert Earl Keen's The Road Goes on Forever.

  32. F.... K....

    " Never trust a beautiful woman, especially one that's interested in you...." - Magneto

  33. P.... H....

    I have always said "Pu__y will get you killed!"

  34. J.... M....

    Google "The BPM's Jeff Morris Official Video." It's a great biker song. You'll love it. Give it a chance.

  35. F.... M....

    Toby Keith is a cheap knockoff

  36. m.... e....

    Bullets in the gun... there was no bullets in the gun when he pointed it at the fatman

  37. S.... L....

    Of course the federals would have you surrounded if you're tried to run your own words would ring true if you're dumb enough to follow me or dumb enough to die. You won't outrun them no you got to be witty and canny you might outsmart them but you ain't going to run from them

  38. H.... M....

    classical woman

  39. c.... ....

    WOW , total rip off of The road goes on forever , Nashville song writers have no shame , check out Garth Brooks rip off of BEER RUN written by Tom Snyder

  40. b.... ....

    Lesson: There ain't nothin' funny about a woman with a gun.

  41. K.... K....

    Dont stress safeties still on.

  42. M.... ....

    Succubus

  43. C.... ....

    C.... ....

  53. S.... P....

    Zvali su me munja
    Uvek sam udarao brzo
    Imao sam sve što imam
    u sedlima na mom motoru
    Imao sam reputaciju
    jer nikada i ne ostaje drugo
    baš kao divlji i nemirni momak
    kao kauboj u pesmi

    Sreo sam tamnokosu lepoticu
    tamo gde spuštaju viski
    u južnoj Arizoni
    u malom pograničnom gradu
    morala je da igra za novac
    u tom prašnjavom starom salonu
    Ispustio sam dolar u džuboks
    igrala je na tu melodiju devojka, da


    Nikad ga ne vidim
    samo vas iznenadi
    to je hladno mesto u tvojoj duši
    i vatra u njenim očima
    te tera da se zbližiš
    kao divlji konji u kasu
    sada su karte na stolu i
    metci u pištolju


    sedela je u mom krilu
    na stolu jos casa za ispijanje
    kada se čovek povukao
    koji je posedovao bar
    u cadillac deville
    zgrabio ju je za garavu kosu
    i bacio je na pod
    rekao je da nema slobodne vožnje za kauboja
    to nije ono za što ti plaćam

    skočila je i zgrabila moj pištolj
    zabila u leđa debelog čoveka
    rekla je otvori sef
    i stavi novac u vreću
    a onda je vezla ruke na ledjima
    i stavio mu povez na oči
    Rekao sam mu
    ako si dovoljno glup da lovis čoveka
    Dovoljno si glup da umreš

    Nikad ga ne vidim
    samo vas iznenadi
    to je hladno mesto u tvojoj duši
    i vatra u njenim očima
    te tera da se zbližiš
    kao divlji konji kasu
    sada su karte na stolu i
    metci u pištolju

    jahali smo preko granice
    u Meksiko
    kao kada bežite od zakona
    nije to mesto gde svi idu
    došli smo do grada
    sa imenom koje nisam mogao da napišem
    dala mi ono radi čega sam došao
    u tom meksičkom motelu

    Probudio sam se pored nje
    zvuk trčećih nogu
    50 Federalaca je zakrcilo i napunilo ulicu
    zgrabila je moju 44
    Uzeo sam novac u vreći
    Poslednji put sam je poljubio
    i krenuli smo nazad
    Bili su skoro za nama
    I svaki otkucaj srca
    jedina stvar koja je preostala da uradi
    kada su vas sve okružili
    ispalila je metak iz starog pištolja
    ali nije podrzana nasa molitva
    novac se rasuo po zemlji
    čoveče, metci su ispunili vazduh

    Nikad ga ne vidim
    samo vas iznenadi
    to je hladno mesto u tvojoj duši
    i vatra u njenim očima
    te tera da se zbližiš
    kao divlji konji u kasu
    sada su karte na stolu i
    metci u pistolju

  54. S.... U....
