Under The Gun

(Chorus:)
Standing in the midnight rain, all alone with the pieces of my heart again
Knowing one of us is right, and one of us is gone into another night
You've gone running all alone, running all alone

Into another night, you've gone running all alone
I've still got these feelings left, living in my heart and in my head
Breaking from the past, I've come to know at last
Only a fool would stay, stay and pretend, until the very end
Only a fool would stay, to the very end

I need you more than anyone or anything under the sun
Don't leave me lonely here, I get so lonely here

(chorus)
(Solo)
I need you more than anyone or anything under the sun
Don't leave me lonely here, I get so lonely here

(chorus)
Into another night, you've gone running all alone
Standing in the midnight rain (repeats out)

(Chorus:)
Sometimes we are all we got, this time I have not forgot
Even a blind man can see, that it could be you,
it might be me
And sometimes we are all we got

It was a long hot summer run,
back in the middle of sixty-four
Down by a clearing just out of the sun,
I swore I had been there before
When a shot rang out and suddenly I was face to face
with the enemy

Sometimes we are all we got, this time I have not forgot
A boy of eighteen and Southern bred,
his troops had left him there for dead
Laying up against a big oak tree,
it had all come down to either him or me
Just one of those times, two lives on the line
Is this the last thing I'll ever see?

(chorus)
This time I have not forgot, this time I have not forgot

I gotta get down on the river again
She's a true life giver, she's my only friend
When I'm hidin' out, I need a way to ride on out
From all that gunfire up on the land
Too much for one man to make a stand

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
Runnin' through the night, runnin' for my life
Seems it's worth a lot, to a man who's not forgot who I am
I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man

I been cheated by a dealer, black hearted man of a soul stealer
Kept me down in the game, until a voice called my name
I was holding my own on the losing end
Here comes the lady, she's a winning hand

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
Ride that dark lady down, roll on easy to another town
She's got wild and wistful ways, I'll take her any night or day
I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
