Before The Bullets Fly

I hate to leave you babe
 But I just can't waste my time
 You've got this jealous husband
 And I'm to too young to die
 Gonna move on away from here
 Just before the bullets fly
 I've always been a gambler
 Takin' chances all my life
 Bustin' up these love affairs
 Just like shootin' dice
 I staged the game girl
 That's what keeps me satisfied
 And I can leave in the nick of time
 Just before the bullets fly
 Lost my first bet
 When I was twenty-one
 Found myself in New Orleans
 On the wrong end of a gun
 Stakes keep getting higher
 But somehow I survived
 By knowin' when to leave the game
 Just before the bullets fly
 You know I have to leave
 Just before the bullets fly
 I'm gonna get on out of here
 Just before the bullets fly
