lirik lagu playin’ with a flame – drew fish band

just outside of fairbury, running from the law

the year was 1861, he didn’t do no wrong

inside of rockport station, pistol in his hand

mccanles’ gang came busting in, quick with their demands

words quickly turned to violence as the lead began to fly

not one of mccanles’s gang made it out alive

accused of murder, a felony first degree

the charges did not stick, self defense was his plea

the cards were on the table in 1865

he knew that he had won it you could see it in his eyes

when he got his earnings, he paid his standing debts

but tutt had upped the anti and he wouldn’t pay the rest

tutt sn-tched that watch right from the pot and walked out of the room

the next time that their eyes met in that court yard afternoon

he pulled his pistol from his side, a quick draw in the street

75 yards to the heart, tutt knew that he’d been beat

chorus:

gotta be careful if you’re gambling with your life

you never know when you’ll see the wrong end of the sights
in the right or in the wrong, it is all the same

just know you might get burned if you’re playin’ with a flame

outside of bull’s head tavern in downtown abilene

trying to enforce the law but old phil caused a scene

he wasn’t looking for trouble, trouble followed him around

he didn’t want to start a fight, but he wasn’t backing down

breaking up a street brawl and holding off the crowd

till phil brought out his pistol and shot two in the ground

he ordered phil’s arrest, but old phil wasn’t giving up

with two colt revolvers he shot phil in the gut

chorus

in the heart of deadwood, nuttal and mann’s saloon

two pair in his hand, the last card no one knew
before he heard a footstep, jack mccall had pulled his gun

a deadman’s hand he had, his gamblin’ days were done

chorus
