Shooting Hand

I walked my sheriff's star on over to the bar And I ordered me a shooter and a beer The town was nice and quiet Just the way I like And I was thinking I was in the clear So I dusted off my cowboy hat and knock a couple back And then I saw her smile clear across the room So I laid my money down Ordered up a couple rounds And I said how about a waltz just me and you Don't go dancing with a woman who belongs to another man Cause you wouldn't steal no pony off of someone else's land If ya go looking for trouble it'll find you if it can And don't go drinking with your shooting hand I stumbled through those swinging doors with whiskey on my mind And saw my Sarah in the long arms of the law So I reached for my pearl grip Hangin there on my hip And sent a warning shot right through the wall I had him dead to rights looking scared there in my sights And told him that this dance would be his last Sheriff badge or not You're bout to get shot So when you get to hell if anybody asks Don't go dancing with a woman who belongs to another man Cause you wouldn't steal no pony off of someone else's land If ya go looking for trouble it'll find you if it can So don't go drinking with your shooting hand With her hand in my left and a longneck in my right That bastard had me caught but I'll be damned When he went to shoot me The fear of god went through me But not no bullet turns out the gun was jammed Don't go dancing with a woman who belongs to another man Cause you wouldn't steal no pony off of someone else's land If ya go looking for trouble it'll find you if it can So don't go shooting with your drinking hand Yeah don't go drinking with your shooting hand
