Armed With An Empty Gun

Armed with an empty gun

And no one to call my bluff

The guardsmen at the border

Were afraid to play it rough

I was armed with an empty gun

I was armed with an empty gun

Yeah

I was armed with an empty gun

And nothing to get in my way

My baby aits on the doorstep

Her mother begs her to stay

My head is pounding with fever

And I'm too weary to run

My fingers are limp on the trigger

Cause I'm armed with an empty gun

I was armed with an empty gun

(Guitar)

Armed with an empty gun

I was stuck in santa fe

This man says what are you holding

Let me put it this way

I said at night I go to sleep

And in the morning I waken

He said I think I know you

I said I think you're mistaken

Gun gun gun gun

Well I was lookin for real persuasion

Then just as I'd begun

He looked in my hand

He walked off away

I was armed with an empty gun

I was armed with an empty gun

I was armed with an empty gun yeah wow

Yeah I couldn't hit it sideways baby
