Temptation Is a Gun

Like the hopeful dreams of many He had everything and more A lovely wife and children All the things worth fighting for He knows, there was still Still, something missing in his life Though he promised to be faithful He was good at telling lies He had an eye for young girls He would steal some on the side Oh no, he just could not be satisfied It's a game of all or nothing There is nowhere safe to run Someone might just pull the trigger 'Cause temptation is a gun He met her at a night club On the other side of town Somehow he could not resist her She's the best he'd ever found She knows, she found her ticket to the other side It's a game of all or nothing There is nowhere safe to run Someone might just pull the trigger 'Cause temptation is a gun His foolish ways seem harmless but his world was so divine 'Cause at home they know his secrets they've heard all his alibis As he tries to face his feelings, he can't justify his crimes Now comes the final ending Of the dreams he once held sacred deep inside He can kiss it all goodbye It's a game of all or nothing There is nowhere safe to run Someone might just pull the trigger 'Cause temptation is a gun Oh, mmm, yeah baby Oh temptation is a gun, yeah Temptation is a gun All or nothing, all or nothing --- Temptation Is A Gun - Allman Brothers Band
