I Rode Into Town With My Ear To The Ground,
Looking For The Right Band To Play,
I Felt Just Right In The Heat Of The Night,
Ridden Many Miles That Day.

I've Heard Of A Place Where Men Go Together,
Playin' And Layin' It Down,
I'm Going To Win, But Lord, What A Sin,
I Didn't Know They Gun Me Down.

Chorus:
Gunsmoke On The Horizon, Hiding The Setting Sun.
Gunsmoke On The Horizon, I Grabbed My Horse And Run.
Well, The Dealer Was Blind, I Was Trying To Find,
A Way To Keep The Winnings I'd Found.
The Smoke Was Thick, The Tension Was Thicker,
I Still Thought They'd Gun Me Down.

Chorus:
Gunsmoke On The Horizon, Hiding The Setting Sun.
Gunsmoke On The Horizon, I Grabbed My Horse And Run.
I Didn't Come Into This Ol' Two Horse Town,
To Get All Shot Up. I've Got A Little Livin' On My Mind,
Aces And Eights, Ha-ha-ha-ha.

Now The Dealer Dealt Me Eight And I Had My Straight,
I Knew The Other Men Would Call.
The Booze Was A Flowin', The Cards Were Showing,
But My Back Was Up Against The Wall.

Chorus:
Gunsmoke On The Horizon, Hiding The Setting Sun.
Gunsmoke On The Horizon, I Grabbed My Horse And Run.
C'mon Thunder.
