Lyrics
Son Of A Gun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a boy in the world
Who doesn't follow the crowd
Doesn't do what he's told to
That's why he's allowed to
Stay sharp as diamond
Sharp as a diamond
If you are lucky
You might be the one
Get to ride with the outlaw
Do things that are done by respectable people
Respectable people
But heaven knows
He isn't what he should be
The description fits
I just think he could be
A son of a gun
Ever tried a silver a bullet in your ear before
A son of a gun
He's got something that you've
Never ever ever tried before
Son of a gun
What he wants he will take
And he'll take what is best
Life's far too short
To leave time for the rest
That's the law of the jungle
The law of the jungle
Heaven knows
He isn't what he should be
The description fix
I just think he could be
