Son of a Gun

Oh there was a time when she'd lie in the grass 
and imagine the places she'd never go. 

And there all alone she would pleasure herself 
with thoughts of a man she would never know. 

Lying there, she made a promise that one day she'd run 
and she'd find just the man she was looking for.
 
Well, she fell in love with that son of a gun, 
but he was not the man that she took him for. 

When he came to town he came rambling in 
on a great cloud of dust carried by the wind. 

Oh, it wasn't long before he pulled her in 
and he asked her to come run away with him. 

He saw a pretty young girl who was ready to run 
and she saw just the chance she'd been looking for. 

Well, she fell in love with that son of gun, 
but he was not the man that she took him for. 

They headed out west driving into the sun 
and he promised her she was the only one. 

Well, he was a thief and he'd steal just for fun. 
He'd go cruising around with his little gun. 

He ran afoul of the law and decided to run 
and he left her alone with their little one. 

Well, she was in love with that son of a gun 
and the story between them wasn't done. 

When she finds him she will make him regret he was ever born.
