Heartbreak Kid - Lyrics by Icehouse


Lyrics
Dusty wind blew 'cross the high plainsas the stranger rode into townwith a certain reputationfor the ladies and the gunwalked to the barstool casualjust as easy as you pleasehe was bound to do some damagewith those valetino eyeswell, the barmaid was an angeland she looked so out of placeand she said her name was '
Sunset'she was different from the restand she couldn't help but noticeas he walked through the doorthat the gunman was something specialand the bullet found it's scoreand that one mistake you make is just enoughand that one mistake is, "
Boy... you talk too tough"only takes a single bulletto bring the fastest trigger down,only takes a pretty womanput a gunman undergroundand you may here the same old storyin ev'ry town on ev'ry streetthe story of '
Sunset' and theheartbreak kiddirty rain soaked through a doorwayof an upper westside barand the TV news was talkingto the crowd of people there'... well the kid was always recklesshe said, "I never stay to long...".. and when she knew that he would leave her
Sunset shot that gunman down...'and that one mistake you make is just enoughand that one mistake is, "
Boy... you talk too tough"only takes a single bulletto bring the fastest trigger down,only takes a pretty womanput a gunman undergroundand you may here the same old storyin ev'ry town on ev'ry streetthe story of '
Sunset' and theheartbreak kid
