[Verse 1]
You were ridin' hard 'cross stony ground
With a price up on your head
The sheriff got your name up on his wall
You better ride on or your gonna fall
All those crazy nights
Whiskey, wild women, startin' dive bar fights
Sheriff's gonna get ya, gonna hunt ya down
If you don't surrender, young son of a gun
[Chorus]
Young son of a gun
Son of a gun
Son of a gun
[Verse 2]
A pretty girl with an ugly heart
She stole your soul one moonlit night
A head full of a whisky, couldn't see the light
The hard rains tumblin' down
Now listen to the wind a-callin' out your name
This ain't no joke and it ain't no game
Don't you remember what your papa said?
"Son, the devil lies a-waitin' on both ends of a gun"
[Chorus]
Young son of a gun
Son of a gun (Son of a gun)
Crazy son of a gun (Son of a gun)
Yeah, you better ride on (Better ride on)
Better ride on (Better ride on)
Better move on (Better move on)
You better ride on
[Verse 3]
Well, the county sheriff and the bounty hunter
They finally tracked ya down
They caught you hidin' out in a silver mine
On the other side of town
Now wild flowers grow on your nameless grave
And the howling wind's your friend
The preacher tried to tell ya, save another soul
But the devil waits on both ends of a gun
[Chorus]
Son of a gun
Young son of a gun (Young son of a gun)
Young son of a gun (Son of a gun)
Son of a gun (Young son of a gun)
Yeah, you better ride on (Better ride on)
Better move on (Better move on)
Better move on (Better move on)
Son of a gun (Son of a gun)
Ooh
You were ridin' hard 'cross stony ground
With a price up on your head
The sheriff got your name up on his wall
You better ride on or your gonna fall
All those crazy nights
Whiskey, wild women, startin' dive bar fights
Sheriff's gonna get ya, gonna hunt ya down
If you don't surrender, young son of a gun
[Chorus]
Young son of a gun
Son of a gun
Son of a gun
[Verse 2]
A pretty girl with an ugly heart
She stole your soul one moonlit night
A head full of a whisky, couldn't see the light
The hard rains tumblin' down
Now listen to the wind a-callin' out your name
This ain't no joke and it ain't no game
Don't you remember what your papa said?
"Son, the devil lies a-waitin' on both ends of a gun"
[Chorus]
Young son of a gun
Son of a gun (Son of a gun)
Crazy son of a gun (Son of a gun)
Yeah, you better ride on (Better ride on)
Better ride on (Better ride on)
Better move on (Better move on)
You better ride on
[Verse 3]
Well, the county sheriff and the bounty hunter

Son of a gun
Young son of a gun (Young son of a gun)
Young son of a gun (Son of a gun)
Son of a gun (Young son of a gun)
Yeah, you better ride on (Better ride on)
Better move on (Better move on)
Better move on (Better move on)
Son of a gun (Son of a gun)
Ooh
