The Allman Brothers Band

The Allman Brothers Band is an American rock/blues band once based in Macon, Georgia. The band was formed in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, organ, songwriting), plus Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). While the band has been called the principal architects of Southern rock, they also incorporate elements of blues, jazz, and country music, and their live shows have jam band-style improvisation and instrumental songs. more »

Like the hopeful dreams of many, he had everything and more, 
A lovely wife and children, all the things worth fighting for. 
He knows, there was still, still, something missing in his life.
Though he promised to be faithful, he was good at telling lies. 
He had an eye for young girls, he would steal some on the side. 
Oh no, he just could not be satisfied. 
It's a game of all or nothing, there is nowhere safe to run, 
Someone might just pull the trigger, cause temptation is a gun. 
He met her at a night club, on the other side of town. 
Somehow he could not resist her, she's the best he'd ever found. 
She knows, she found her ticket to the other side. 
It's a game of all or nothing, there is nowhere safe to run, 
Someone might just pull the trigger, cause temptation is a gun. 
His foolish ways seem harmless, but his world was so divine, 
Cause at home they know his secrets, they've heard all his alibis. 
As he tries to face his feelings, he can't justify his crimes, 
Now comes the final ending, of the dreams he once held sacred deep inside. 
He can kiss it all good-bye. 
It's a game of all or nothing, there is nowhere safe to run, 
Someone might just pull the trigger, cause temptation is a gun. 
Oh, umm, ya baby, ahh temptation is a gun. 
Temptation is a gun, All or nothing, all or nothing.
