The Man Behind The Gun - Ned Miller
Written by：Ned Miller
He's just supposed to be lonely
The man behind the gun
They gave me the job of the sheriff
Because I'm good with a gun
Now how could I ever refuse them
They really needed someone
I tried to explain to my baby
But still she left me one day
She said she'd return to me only
When I threw my six gun away
And I'm not supposed to be lonely
To need or love anyone
I'm just supposed to be only
The man behind the gun
Then one day she sent me a letter
She said I want you to know
I miss you and my heart is breaking
I love you and I need you so
The stage it was leaving next morning
I'd be on that stage without fail
Then someone shot old jimmy Taylor
And I took out on his trail
And I'm not supposed to be lonely
To need or love anyone
I'm just supposed to be only
The man behind the gun
Well three weeks it took I remember
Before I'd tracked the man down
And when I returned with the prisoner
It was the talk of the town
Too late to go to my baby
They buried her deep in the clay
I spend all these hours in the saddle
And draw a heartache for pay
And he's not supposed to be lonely
To need or love anyone
I'm just supposed to be only
The man behind the gun
The man behind the gun
The man
