Chris Rea - Hired Gun Lyrics
Morning light meet the dayNervous eyes look both waysAnd it just wont matter, spring or fallTheres bread to win and shots to callAnd there aint nobody out thereJust a wild uncertaintyIts in your stride but it aint no funSometimes I feel just like a hired gunI feel just like a hired gunAlways on the runAnd how it started, well you cant recallDid someone push you, did someone stallWhatever the reasons there was lots to learnTo get home safely and not get burnedAnd its all so cold and emptyAs you watch the setting sunYouve picked up every dirty trickJust to keep yourself always on the runAnd I feel just like a hired gunAlways on the runI dream of comfort and friendship longBut I cant trust you or anyoneThe scars still hurt me and I dont let them healEach ones a lesson, each ones a shieldAnd I may even love you dearlyAnd I loathe what I have to doYou see Ive picked up every dirty trickIn my fear of youcos you make me feel just like a hired gunAlways on the run
