See the man ridin high in the desert near the Rio Grande Runs for his life, doesnt sleep, doesnt take time to understand Cause the girl that he loved went away and ran off with another man But he followed them both and he shot at the throat, couldnt stop his hand. So now hes under the gun. He was born and raised and he lived like the son of an honest man And who wouldve thought that one day he might gun down another man But his heart gave away to the gun in his hand Couldnt stop it, No So now hes gotta run, and he weak from the sun got nowhere to go. Chorus: Because hes under the gun, under the gun Just a fugitive, out on the run Under the gun, under the gun Never see, the setting sun Hes under the gun. Well now hes on the run, cause hes under causae gun Got nowhere to go Well now pray for him sister, watch out for him mister Hell let you know Thats hes under the gun, under the gun Just a fugitive, out on the run, under then gun Under the gun Never see the setting sun Hes under causae gun (Under the gun... till fade.)
