I'm an outlaw running from the scene of the crime
And if they're gonna take me in
I won't be doin time
I got nothing to live for beneath the burning sun
I won't be taken in by handcuff for the things I've done
I'll be Taken By The Gun
The copter blades cut the night like an AK-47
The Devil must be laughing in Hell
While God cries up in Heaven
Well I used to run from living
Now I only live to run
And if I'm to be taken for the things I've done
I'll be Taken By The Gun
Well you might have heard my story
And you might have told a friend
And if your friend tells another
Will the legend never end?
But I never killed for money
I only killed for fun
And if I'm to be taken for the things I've done
They say a man who lives by the sword dies by the sword
I read it in the Bible
It was God's own Holy word
Well if Jesus will forgive me
I pray that He's God's son
Cause if I'm to be taken for the things I've done
I'll be Taken By The Gun
