Molly Hatchet is an American southern metal band formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1975. They are known for their hit song "Flirtin' with Disaster" from the album of the same title.

Well I rode into town with my ear to the ground
Looking for the right hand to play
I felt just right in the heat of the night
I'd ridden many miles that day

I heard of a place where men got together
Playin' and layin' it down
I'm going in to win, but Lord, what a sin
I didn't know they'd gun me down

[Chorus]
Gun smoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gun smoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run 
Well the dealer was blind and I was trying to find
A way to keep the winnings I'd found
The smoke was thick, the tension was thicker
I still thought they'd gun me down

Gun smoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gun smoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run
I didn't come into this ol' two horse town to get all shot I've got a little livin' on my mind
Aces and eights, ha-ha-ha-ha

Now the dealer dealt me eight and I had my straight
I knew the other men would call
The booze was a flowin', my cards were showing 
But my back was up against the wall

[Chorus]
Gun smoke on the horizon, hiding the setting sun
Gun smoke on the horizon, I grabbed my horse and run
C'mon Thunder
