See the man ridin high in the desert near the Rio Grande Runs for his life, doesn't sleep, doesn't take time to understand Cause the girl that he loved went away and ran off with another man But he followed them both and he shot at the throat, couldn't stop his hand. So now hes under the gun.
He was born and raised and he lived like the son of an honest man And who would've thought that one day he might gun down another man But his heart gave away to the gun in his hand Couldn't stop it, No So now hes gotta run, and he weak from the sun got nowhere to go.
Because hes under the gun, under the gun Just a fugitive, out on the run Under the gun, under the gun Never see, the setting sun He's under the gun.
Well now hes on the run, cause he's under cause gun Got nowhere to go Well now pray for him sister, watch out for him mister Hell let you know That's hes under the gun, under the gun Just a fugitive, out on the run, under then gun Under the gun Never see the setting sun He's under cause gun
