There Goes a Well Known Gun Songtext
von Elton John

I pulled out my stage coach times and I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise and of course I saw they knew
Pinkertons they pulled out my bags, asked me for my name
I stuttered out my answer and hung my head in shame

Now they′ve found me
Oh, at last they've found me
It′s hard to run
From a starving family
Now they've found me
Well, I won't run
I′m tired of hearing
There goes a well known gun
There goes a well known gun


Now I′ve seen this chain gang
Let me see my priest
I couldn't have faced your desert sand
Old burning brown-backed beast
The poor house they hit me for my kin
And claimed my crumbling walls
Now I know how Reno felt when he ran from the law

Now they′ve found me
Oh, at last they've found me
It′s hard to run
From a starving family
Now they've found me
Well, I won′t run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well known gun
There goes a well known gun


Now they've found me
Oh, at last they′ve found me
It′s hard to run
From a starving family
Now they've found me
Well, I won′t run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well known gun
There goes a well known gun
There goes a well known gun
There goes a well known gun
