Before The Bullets Fly

Girl I hate to leave you
 Gotta take my time
 You got a jealous husband
 And I'm too young to die
 I think I'll get out of here
 Before the bullets fly
 Always been a gambler, takin' chances all my life
 All these back door love affairs, it's just like shootin' dice
 I stay in danger, that's what keeps me satisfied
 I think I'll get out of here before the bullets fly
 Lost my first bet when I was just twenty-one
 Found myself in New Orleans on the wrong end of a gun
 Stakes keep gettin' higher, but somehow I survive
 By knowin' when to leave the game before the bullets fly
 You know I hate to leave you
 Gotta take my time
 You got a jealous husband
 And I'm too young to die
 I think I'll get out of here
 Before the bullets fly
