The Dream Syndicate - Armed With An Empty Gun lyrics

Armed with an empty gun and no one to call my bluff the guardsmen at the border were afraid to play it rough I was armed with an empty gun I was armed with an empty gun yeah I was armed with an empty gun and nothing to get in my way my baby aits on the doorstep her mother begs her to stay my head is pounding with fever and I'm too weary to run my fingers are limp on the trigger cause I'm armed with an empty gun I was armed with an empty gun (guitar) Armed with an empty gun I was stuck in Santa Fe this man says What are you holding Let me put it this way I said At night I go to sleep and in the morning I waken he said I think I know you I said I think you're mistaken gun gun gun gun Well I was lookin for real persuasion then just as I'd begun he looked in my hand he walked off away I was armed with an empty gun I was armed with an empty gun I was armed with an empty gun yeah wow yeah I couldn't hit it sideways baby oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah (repeat line 4 times)
