Icehouse - Heartbreak Kid Lyrics
Dusty wind blew 'cross the high plainsas a stranger rode into townwith a certain reputationfor the ladies and a gunhe walked to the bar so casualjust as easy as you pleasehe was bound to do some damagewith those valentino eyeswell, the barmaid was an angeland she looked so out of placeand she said her name was 'Sunset'she was different from the restand she couldn't help but noticethe moment he walked through the doorthat the gunman was something specialand the bullet found a scoreand the one mistake you make is just enoughand that one mistake is "Boy, you talk too tough"only takes a single bulletbring the fastest trigger downonly takes a pretty womanput a gunman undergroundand you may hear the same old storyin ev'ry town, on ev'ry streetthe story of 'Sunset'... and theHeartbreak Kiddirty rain soaked through the doorwayof an upper westside barand the TV news was talkingto the crowd of people there"...well the kid was always recklesshe said "I'll never stay too long...""..and when she knew that he would leave herSunset shot that gunman down..."[chorus]"Oh, the story of 'Sunset'...and the Heartbreak Kid."
