Lyrics
Mister DJ
(One Man Gunfight)
Got the last of a bottle of whiskey
And the medicine bottle is empty
Got the radio loud and a gun on the table
and one bullet:
That'll be plenty.
Choose your next song wisely, Mister DeeJay
I may not be around for the "double-play".
Choose your next song wisely, Mister DeeJay
I may not be around...
The bank account's empty and my woman left town
Whan the corporate office shut the factory down.
Now, the question is: Which is gonna hit me last?
The pills or the whiskey or a rifle blast.
Choose your next song wisely, Mister DeeJay
I may not be around for the "double-play".
Choose your next song wisely, Mister DeeJay
I may not be around...
I'm number one with a bullet.It's a popular song.
And too many peopple want to sing along
I'm a lot like a bullet on this long dark night
Lookin' down the barrel for a sign of daylight.
It might be the cards in a hand that's dealt.
It might be the lovin' that's never felt.
The dark isolation that comes when there's
not a friend in creation and no one cares.
Choose your next song wisely, Mister DeeJay
I may not be around for the "double-play".
Choose your next song wisely, Mister DeeJay
I may not be around...
I'm number one with a bullet.It's a popular song.
And too many peopple want to sing along
I'm a lot like a bullet on this long dark night
Alone in the chamber at a One Man Gunfight.
