Before The Bullets Fly

I hate to leave you, babe, I just can't waste my time You've got this jealous husband I'm too, too young to die, I gotta move on away from 'round here Just before the bullets fly Always been a gambler takin' chances all my life 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 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, yeah I'm knowing when the need became Just before the bullets fly
