Buoys - Give Up Your Guns

When I woke up this morning I found myself alone I turned to touch her hair But she was gone, she was gone And there beside my pillow Were her tears from the night before She said "Give up your guns and face the law" I robbed a bank in Tampa And I thought I had it made But the hounds picked up my trail Within the 'Glades, so I ran And I stumbled on this cabin And she came to me once more She said "Give up your guns and face the law" I don't wanna leave her, I don't wanna die Deep within a cold, cold grave With no one 'round to cry But I've got my pistol Now it's time to choose Shooting here, or hanging there And either way, I lose And now I'm in this cabin Where my own true love should be Instead, there lies a note she wrote to me And it says "No you can't live by the bullet, But you sure as death can die, My love, give up your guns or say goodbye, goodbye" And the sheriff now is calling With his shotgun at my door Son, give up your guns and face the law
