See the man ridin ＇ high in the desert near the Rio Grande

Runs for his life doesn ＇ t sleep doesn ＇ t take time to understand

＇ Cause the girl that he loved went away and ran off with another man

But he followed them both and he shot at the throat couldn ＇ t stop his hand

So now he ＇ s under the gun

He was born and raised and he lived like the son of an honest man

And who would ＇ ve thought that one day he might gun down another man

But his heart gave away to the gun in his hand

He couldn ＇ t stop it No

So now he ＇ s gotta run and he ＇ weak from the sun got nowhere to go

Chorus:

Because he ＇ s under the gun

Under the gun

Just a fugitive out on the run

Under the gun

Under the gun

Never see the setting sun

He ＇ s under the gun

Well now he ＇ s on the run ＇ cause he ＇ s under gun

Got nowhere to go

Well now pray for him sister watch out for him mister

He ＇ ll let you know

That ＇ s he ＇ s under the gun under the gun

Just a fugitive out on the run under then gun

Under the gun

Never see the setting sun

He ＇ s under gun under the gun till fade )
