With A Gun lyrics by Steely Dan

I could be wrong but I
have seen your face before
You were the man that
I saw running from his door
You owed him money but
you gave him something more

With a gun
With a gun
You will be
what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man
with the piece in your hand
and leave him lying in the rain?

You were the founders
of the clinic on the hill
until he caught you
with your fingers in the till
He slapped your hand and
so you settled up your bill

With a gun
With a gun
You will be
what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man
with the piece in your hand
and leave him lying in the rain?

When you're born to play the fool
And you've seen all
the western movies
Woe to the one who does you wrong
You hide in the bushes
Murder the man with Luger in hand

I understood that you
will soon be leaving town
Don't try to call me when
they finally run you down
Just give fair warning
any time you come around

With a gun
With a gun
You will be
what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man
with the piece in your hand
and leave him lying in the rain?
