With A Gun - 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 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 leavin' 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?
