Morning light meet the day Nervous eyes look both ways And it just wont matter, spring or fall Theres bread to win and shots to call And there aint nobody out there Just a wild uncertainty Its in your stride but it aint no fun Sometimes I feel just like a hired gun I feel just like a hired gun Always on the run And how it started, well you cant recall Did someone push you, did someone stall Whatever the reasons there was lots to learn To get home safely and not get burned And its all so cold and empty As you watch the setting sun Youve picked up every dirty trick Just to keep yourself always on the run And I feel just like a hired gun Always on the run I dream of comfort and friendship long But I cant trust you or anyone The scars still hurt me and I dont let them heal Each ones a lesson, each ones a shield And I may even love you dearly And I loathe what I have to do You see Ive picked up every dirty trick In my fear of you cos you make me feel just like a hired gun Always on the run
