Buoys - Give Up Your Guns lyrics

rate me

When I woke up this morning

I found myself alone

I turned to touch her hair

But she was gone, she was gone

And there beside my pillow

Were her tears from the night before

She said "Give up your guns and face the law"

I robbed a bank in Tampa

And I thought I had it made

But the hounds picked up my trail

Within the 'Glades, so I ran

And I stumbled on this cabin

And she came to me once more

She said "Give up your guns and face the law"

I don't wanna leave her, I don't wanna die

Deep within a cold, cold grave

With no one 'round to cry

But I've got my pistol

Now it's time to choose

Shooting here, or hanging there

And either way, I lose

And now I'm in this cabin

Where my own true love should be

Instead, there lies a note she wrote to me

And it says

"No you can't live by the bullet,

But you sure as death can die,

My love, give up your guns or say goodbye, goodbye"

And the sheriff now is calling

With his shotgun at my door

Son, give up your guns and face the law<br />

<br />
