Gregg Allman Band - Before The Bullets Fly lyrics

rate me

I hate to leave you, babe, I just can't waste my time<br />

You've got this jealous husband<br />

I'm too, too young to die, I gotta move on away from 'round here<br />

Just before the bullets fly<br />

<br />

Always been a gambler takin' chances all my life<br />

Smashin' those love affairs just like shootin' dice<br />

I staged the game, girl that's what keeps me satisfied<br />

And I can leave it in the nick of time just before the bullets fly<br />

<br />

I lost my first bet when I was twenty-one<br />

Found myself in New Orleans on the wrong end of a gun<br />

The stakes keep getting higher but somehow I survive<br />

By knowin' when the need became just before the bullets fly<br />

<br />

I'm knowing when the need became<br />

Just before the bullets fly, yeah<br />

I'm knowing when the need became<br />

Just before the bullets fly
