Line Of Fire

(Album: Departure - 1980)

It was a hot and steamy night,
Then Frankie pulled his gun in sight.
He said, "Now Suzi, don't you lie.
Did Stevie, did he catch you with another guy?"
Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's coming to ya,
It's going through ya.

He told her that he had been true,
And that he'd never made her blue, no.
So don't go saying Stevie's a liar,
Girl, I've got my finger on a hair-trigger wire.
Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's coming to ya,
It's going through ya.
Bye, bye, bye, Suzi.
So long girl.

Those gunshots echoed through the town.
Oh Frankie threw his shotgun down.
That roof had moonlight shining through.
She said she'd never, never, never, make him blue, yea.
Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's coming to ya,
Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
It's going through ya.
Bye, bye, bye, Suzi.
So long.
