You know I hate to leave you babe
But I just can`t waste my time....
Well you`ve got this jealous husband
And I`m far too young to die,
I must move on away from here
Just before the bullets fly
I`ve always been a gabler
Takin` chances all my life....
Always smashin` those love affairs
Just like shootin` dice,
I staged the game girl
That`s what keeps me satisfied
And I can leave it in the nick of time
Just before the bullets fly
Solo
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 somehow i Survive,
By knowin` when the need became
Just before the bullets fly
I`m knowing when the need became
Just before the bullets fly
I`m knowing when the need became
Just before the bullets fly
