I was on my way down to Mexico,
there was trouble on the rise.
It was nothing more than I’d left behind,
which was much to my surprise.
I turned around and lit a cigarette
wiped the dust off of my boots.
When up ahead I saw the crowd,
I knew it was no use.
I’ts been the same way for Oh so long,
it looks like I’m singing the same old song.
A fine and fancy man was he,
doing good things for the poor.
Givin’ rides in his rockin’ Eighty-eight for free.
They could not hope for more.
When it came my turn he said to me,
“Have I seen your face before?”
I said, “Oh no, you must be wrong,
I’m from a distant shore.
So if you don’t mind, I’ll just move along
but it looks like I’m singin’ the same old song.”
A Nineteen Forty movie star
with a long forgotten name.
She was a sexy mess in her pleated dress,
still hangin’ on to fame.
With forgotten lines she missed her cue
and left a glass of wine at home.
She was singin’ the same song that I was.
Could we both be wrong?
So hand in hand we walked along,
each of us singin’ the same old song.
She used to drive a beat up pickup
Down around San Antone
Stealin’ the heart of every guy in town
Includin’ the one I own
But this sweet young thing of seventeen
Would sting you with the lovesick blues
Just a blonde haired blue eyed picture of sin
Lookin’ for someone to use
She’s a lover ‘n fighter, she’s a wild bull rider
And I’m wonderin’ why she left me such a long time ago
She’s a heartbreaker, she’s a love taker
She can break a heart and take all the love she needs
Well I heard she got down in Beaumont
And she wound up in El Paso
She was tuff as a boot and thin as a rail
And she could step to the cotton eyed Joe
If you run across this flagrant fuzzy
Slip in and get her while you can
Cause before too long she’ll be good as gone
And runnin’ with another man
She’s a lover ‘n fighter, she’s a wild bull rider
And I’m wonderin’ why she left me such a long time ago
She’s a heartbreaker, she’s a love taker
She can break a heart and take all the love she needs
Have mercy, been waitin’ for the bus all day.
Have mercy, been waitin’ for the bus all day.
I got my brown paper bag and my take-home pay.
Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight.
Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight.
Well, I’m glad just to get on and home tonight.
Right on, that bus done got me back.
Right on, that bus done got me back.
Well, I’ll be ridin’ on the bus till I Cadillac.
Words and music by billy gibbons.
Well, i’m tryin’, yes i’m tryin just to get a line on you
Where you been?
But i’m havin’ trouble puttin’ a find on you
I’m wearin’ thin
Somebody else been shaking your tree.
Supposed to saving all that stuff for me.
You been hidin’, yes your’re hidin’, you been stayin’ out on me.
Sneakin’ ’round.
Me and you ain’t workin’ out just like we oughta be.
You’ve got me down.
Somebody else been shaking your tree.
Supposed to be saving all that stuff for me.
I’m tired of foolin’ around with you, and sittin’ here alone.
It’s on my mind.
I think it’s time for me to find a new tree of my own.
It’s plantin’ time.
Anything you wanna do is cool with me.
I don’t care who shakes your tree.
She likes to shoot her gun,
Shootin’ at the target of love.
She likes to load her chamber,
Hot and tight like a black leather glove.
She’s a little freak, but she’ll take you in.
You might be sittin’ at the end of a firing pin.
Gun love, gun love, gun love,
She’s a real gun lover,
Gun love, gun love, gun love,
She’s a real gun lover tonight.
She’s so particular, she likes a Smith and Wesson or Colt.
But she’ll give you some lovin’ as long as she’s cockin’ the bolt.
Better hold on when she’s up to her tricks
Playin’ Russian Roulette but she’ll load all six.
Gun love, gun love, gun love,
She’s a real gun lover,
Gun love, (gun love) gun love, (gun love) gun love,
She’s a real gun lover tonight.
She likes the punch deep down in her pistolero.
Running with the wild bunch, makin’ like a Robert Dinero.
She’s kinda shy but make no mistake,
She’ll shoot you full of love till your love bone aches.
Gun love, gun love, gun love,
She’s a real gun lover,
Gun love, (gun love) gun love, gun love,
She’s a real gun lover tonight.
She’s a real gun lover.
She’s a real gun lover tonight.
