Well I'm an outlaw I make my living on the run My life is lonely But I was born to need no one Always on my own Oh? My gun is loaded I'm a six-shot heart attack I pull the trigger So you better watch your back Looking out for number one so you had better take this piece of advice Make your move Stick 'em up or kiss your ass goodbye [Chorus] Reach for the sky Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye Reach for the sky There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Reach for the sky I got the drop on you so raise them high Reach for the sky Well it's a show down This is what I do for fun I got a reputation Yeah I'm the fastest gun I'm livin' on the highway Movin' on from town to town You better do it my way Or I will shoot you down Looking out for number one so you had better take this piece of advice Make your move Stick 'em up or kiss your ass goodbye [Chorus] Take you best shot Oh go for your guns baby Reach for the sky Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye Reach for the sky There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Reach for the sky Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye Reach for the sky There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Reach for the sky I got the drop on you so raise them high Reach for the sky Oh reach for the sky
