See the man riding high in the desert near the Rio Grande
Runs for his life doesn|t sleep doesn|t take the time to understand
|Cause the girl he loved went away and ran off with another man
But he followed them both and he shot at the throat couldn|t stop his hand
Now he|s under the gun

He was born and raised and lived like the son of an honest man
And who would|ve thought one day he might gun down another man
But his heart gave away to the gun in his hand
Couldn|t stop it - no
So now he|s gotta run he|s weak from the sun got nowhere to go

(chorus)
Because he|s under the gun, under the gun
Just a fugitive out on the run
Under the gun, under the gun
Never see the setting sun
He|s under the gun

Well now he|s on the run |cause he|s under the gun
Got nowhere to go
Well now pray for him sister watch out for him Mister
He|ll let you know

(chorus)
