Gunsmoke

Well, I rode into town with my ear to the ground

Looking for the right hand to play

I felt just right in the heat of the night

I'd ridden many miles that day

I heard of a place where men got together

Playin' and layin' it down

I'm going in to win, but Lord, what a sin

I didn't know they'd gun me down

Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun

Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run (oh)

Well, the dealer was blind, and I was trying to find

A way to keep the winnings I'd found

The smoke was thick, the tension was thicker

I still thought they'd gun me down

Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun

Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run

I didn't come into this ol' two-horse town

To get all shot up

I've got a little livin' on my mind

Aces and eights

Now, the dealer dealt me eight, and I had my straight

I knew the other men would call

The booze was a-flowin', my cards were showin'

But my back was up against the wall

Gunsmoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun

Gunsmoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run

C'mon, Thunder

Whoa!
