ONE TRIGGER PULL AWAY

one trigger pull away
gary ramsey 2023

have yourself one more smoke,
do a little more drinking
try sleepin thru the night
without thinking

6 guns is always there
where ya leave it by the bed
got them demons in your head

play that old game,
of russian roulette,
you'll get what you get

round in the chamber,
tempting fate again,
one trigger pull away
the shot thats your end.

there'was a man
fell deep in love
with someone that he thought
was sent from above

one day he learned
she been lying all along,
broke his heart in two
and then she's gone

loads his .45
hopin' that he's wrong
deep down inside
he knew it all along

put 6 in the chamber,
payment for her sin,
one trigger pull away
from a bitter end

there was a man
no work and no pay
saw his kids go hungry
more and more every day

one day he wrote a note
loaded up his gun
walked into a bank

no place to hide
there's no where to run
from the bullet and the gun

someway, sometimes,
life comes undone
one trigger pull away
from the damage being done...

somewhere tonight
someones giving up
too tired for the fight

somewhere in this town
a woman was shot down
crime of pasion
still won't make it right

somewhere along the way
with his life a father pays
he fed him good that day...

isnt that the way
we all got dues to pay
one trigger pull away
from throwing it all away...

from throwing it all away...

one trigger pull away
one trigger pull away
