I was just about to mind my own business,
When this guy he calls me out.
I was standin' down at the end of the bar,
So he really didn't have to shout.

I told the dude to just be cool,
And I really wasn't ready to fight,
Now I'm heading through a one- way tunnel,
And I think I see the light.

I was just gettin' ready to pull the trigger,
When I looked and he was gone.
I guess I must have waited just a little too long.

Now my body floatin' up over the street.
I see that mother down at my feet,
And I've got a funny feelin'...
That I might have done sometin' wrong.

I was just gettin' ready to pull the trigger,
When somethin' caught my eye.
It was Bessie Lou, what a striking figure,
And she let out a breathy sigh.

With two plump breasts and a nice round butt,
I thought I could really dig her,
But if I hadn't looked in those big brown eyes,
I think I would have pulled the trigger.

I was just gettin' ready to pull the trigger,
When I looked and he was gone,
I guess I must have waited just a little too long.
Now my bodies floatin' up over the street.
I see that mother down at my feet,
And I've got a funny feelin'
That I might have done somethin' wrong.

I was just gettin' ready to pull the trigger,
When I thought about gettin' laid.
With Bessie Lou in studs and leather,
And she'd even look fine in suede.

I was just gettin' ready to slap that leather,
When I felt myself gettin' bigger.
I know in my mind that she looked so fine,
But I just didn't pull the trigger.

The dude stood there about six- foot- six,
His buddies called him Big Dave,
He smelled like a number ten bucket of vomit,
And his teeth could have used a shave.

I told Big Dave not to be so uptight,
But he threw back his head and laughed,
Now I think I see a big bright light,
And I think Dave gave me the shaft.

The next thing I know I was meetin' my maker,
With a hole in the front of my chest.
You're just another fee for the undertaker,
When you come out second best.

I was just gettin' ready to pull the trigger,
I was just gettin' ready to win.
The next time I'd be just a little bit faster,
If I could only just do it again.

I was just gettin' ready to pull the trigger,
When I looked and the dude was gone,
I guess I must have waited just a little too long.
Now my body's floattin' up over the street,
I see that mother down at my feet,
And I've got a funny feelin'
That I might have done somethin' wrong.
