under the gun
I still can picture him  His hands in his back pockets  He wasn't much for words  But when the wise kids made a racket   He just had to go downtown  Throw his weight around for starting over  "Say did you hear I've got a band?"  Some guys I know from LA   Put on Rio Grande  I'll pay you back next Friday  You know it sure ain't big  Just some cats I dig   They said; "They'd do the gig"  Oh Desperado  Why don't you spend your life in Colorado?  Oh restless shadow   Out in the blue hills  You're feeling hollow  Oh El Diablo  Why did you spend your life in California?   I should have warned ya'  No place to go now but falling over  Some guys can't make it on the run  Under the gun   Not for the younger  Oh Jack Daniel's I feel your hunger  I know you did your best  But you thought that you did not   I wish that I had known  Before I heard the last shot  You know it's not a sin  That little badge of tin   Just a momento  So sad your love remained  My comrades lost in battle  The music was a din from London to Seattle   We all made you play and all our yesterdays  Are starting over  Oh Desperado  Why don't you spend your life in Colorado?   Oh restless shadow  Out in the blue hills  You're feeling hollow  Oh, El Diablo   Why did you spend your life in California?  I should have warned ya'  No place to go now but falling over
