Firing Up The Sunset Gun

You show the signs of life
But it's sorrow
That you find comfort in
And you're in your prime of life
But tomorrow
You'll just go deeper in
Your father's ghost looks over you
And tells you just what not to do
And I know where you're going
When the day is done

Firing up the sunset gun
You'll be firing up the sunset gun
Firing up the sunset gun

Everything fades from view
And for a while
You can be safe from it
But it catches up with you

And your denial
Won't get you out of it, no
The words inside you can't come out
You analyze what it's about
And I know where to find you
When the night's begun

Firing up the sunset gun
You'll be firing up the sunset gun
Firing up the sunset gun

You lie in your bed
You can't remain can't run
Empty bottles instead
Until the war can be won

Your father's ghost looks over you
And tells you just what not to do
And I know where you're going
When the day is done

Firing up the sunset gun
You'll be firing up the sunset gun
Firing up the sunset gun.
