Blondie Under the Gun song lyrics

I still can picture him, his hands in his back pockets

He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket

He'd just have to go downtown

Throw his weight around before starting over

"Say did you hear, I've got a band?

Some guys I know from L.A.

We'll own the Rio Grande

I'll pay you back next Friday

You know, it sure ain't big

Just some cats I dig

They said they'd do the gig"

Oh, Desperado, why don't you spend your life in Colorado?

Oh, Restless Shadow, out in the blue hills, you're feeling hollow

Oh, El Diablo, why did you spend your life in California?

I should have warned ya

No place to go now, but falling over

Some hands can't make it on the run, under the gun

Not for the younger

Oh, Jack Daniels, I feel your hunger

I know you did your best, but you thought that you did not

I wish that I had known before I heard the last shot

You know, it's not a sin, that little badge of tin

Just a momento

So sad you loved in vain

My comrades lost in battle

The music wars are done from London to Seattlcce

We all pay to play and all our yesterdays are starting over

Oh, Desperado, why don't you spend your life in Colorado?

Oh, Restless Shadow, out in the blue hills, you're feeling hollow

Oh, El Diablo, why did you spend your life in California?

I should have warned ya

No place to go now, but falling over

Ready to die

Now, he's ready to die
