In every town, on every street
And she said her name was Sunset
Only takes a single bullet
And that one mistake was, boy, you talk too tough
Well, the barmaid was an angel
And the bullet found it's score
That the gunman was something special
Well, the kid was always reckless
She was different from the rest
And the one mistake you make was just enough
And the Heartbreak Kid
Walked to the barstool casual
Only takes a pretty woman
Put a gunman underground
The story of Sunset
And you may hear the same old story
And that one mistake is, boy, you talk too tough
And she couldn't help but notice
And she looked so out of place
To bring the fastest trigger down
The moment he walked through the door
Just as easy as you please
To the crowd of people there
And the Heartbreak Kid
Only takes a pretty woman
Dirty rain soaked through the doorway
Put a gunman underground
The story of Sunset
And the one mistake you make is just enough
And the TV news was talking
Only takes a single bullet
To bring the fastest trigger down
With those Valentino eyes
For the ladies and the gun
With a certain reputation
Sunset shot that gunman down
In every town, on every street
Of an upper westside bar
He was bound to do some damage
And when she knew that he would leave her
The story of Sunset
And you may hear the same old story
He said, "I never stay too long"
