Hired Gun

I’ve chased my share of tumbleweeds

Gone wherever the job took me

Yeah, I’m sure you know the kind

But that ain’t who you’re talking to tonight

Well I’ve rolled that stone, I’ve turned that page

I guess sometimes it comes with age

Where I’m coming from and where I’m heading to

But I’ve been looking for someone like you

Well I’m playing for keeps

I’m betting on love

I ain’t just some cowboy on the run

I wanna ride with you into the setting sun

Ain’t gonna treat your heart like a hired gun

Gonna take my time, gonna get it right

I got your back, I ain’t scared to fight

You’d be hard-pressed to find a man

That can love you like I know I can

Well I’m playing for keeps

I’m betting on love

I ain’t just some cowboy on the run

I wanna ride with you into the setting sun

Ain’t gonna treat your heart like a hired gun

Your smile puts my mind at ease

And your eyes bring me to my knees

Never had a place to hang my hat

But you make me believe in that

Well I’m playing for keeps

I’m betting on love

I ain’t just some cowboy on the run

I wanna ride with you into the setting sun

Ain’t gonna treat your heart like a hired gun
