Take a breath, take it deep Calm yourself, he says to me If you play, you play for keeps Take the gun, and count to three I'm sweating now, I'm moving slow No time to think, my turn to go And you can see my heart, beating You can see it through my chest Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger...) Say a prayer, to yourself He says, close your eyes, sometimes it helps And then I get, a scary thought That he's here, means he's never lost And you can see my heart, beating Now you can see it through my chest Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger As my life flashes before my eyes I'm wondering will I, ever see another sunrise? So many won't get the chance to say goodbye But it's too late to think of the value of my life And you can see my heart, beating Now you can see it through my chest Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no! I know that I must pass this test And you can see my heart, beating Oh, you can see it through my chest That I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no! I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger...)

"Take it or leave it", I've heard it been said All this spring fevers just way over my head Stealin' my moments, takin' up all my time It's playin' Russian roulette with my mind None of my business baby, just what's goin' on?

Yeah, I'm blowin' the doors off this hang around town Holdin' this old gun, metal grey, Chevrolet pedal down Lead foot in a steel toe Out runnin' the memories, rackin' up miles Gettin' gone as I can, takin' my chances spinnin' that dial And so far, I'm on a roll, yeah, I'm on a roll Ain't nothing gonna kill these horses tonight But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light Gettin' shot through the speakers both left and right in stereo Messin' up my head, playin' Russian Roulette with the radio It's been touch or go tryna get gone couple close calls But I just call up a station on down the line Keep that needle in that red line zone Yeah, maybe west is best, pick up I-85 Chase that settin' sun, 'til it parks in the sky But hell, I don't know, only thing I know Ain't nothing gonna kill these horses tonight But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light Gettin' shot through the speakers both left and right in stereo Messin' up my head, playin' Russian Roulette with the radio I need a melody without a memory Take me where I've never been I hear 'em gunnin' for me I feel 'em huntin' for me But I ain't tunin' 'em in I still ain't over you But I can feel it comin' Kinda like the rhythm to these tires hummin' The signal comes and goes I hold my breath and hope nothing Nothing gonna kill these horses tonight But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light Gettin' shot through the speakers both left and right in stereo Messin' up my head, playin' Russian Roulette with the radio Messin' up my head, playin' Russian Roulette with the radio
