Son Of A Gun

(album: Mad, Bad, And Dangerous To Know - 1987)

There's a boy in the world
Who don't follow the crowd
Doesn't do what he's told to
That's why he's allowed to stay
Sharp as a diamond
As sharp as a diamond

If you are lucky
You might be the one
Get to ride with the outlaw
Do things that are done by respectable people
Respectable people

But heaven knows
He isn't what he should be
The description fits
I just think he could be

A son of a gun
Ever tried a silver bullet in your ear before
A son of a gun
He's got something that you've
Never ever ever ever tried before
Son of a gun

What he wants he will take
And he'll take what is best
Life's much too short
To leave doubt for the rest
That's the law of the jungle
The law of the jungle

And heaven knows
He isn't what he should be
The description fits
I just think he could be
