A dusty wind blew 'cross the High Plains as the stranger rode into town
With a certain reputation for the ladies and a gun
Walked to the bar so casual, just as easy as you please
Well, he was bound to do some damage with those Valentino eyes

Well, the barmaid was an angel and she looked so out of place
And she said her name was Sunset, she was different from the rest
And she couldn't help but notice the moment he walked through the door
That the gunman was something special and the bullet found its score

(And the one mistake you make is just enough)
(And that one mistake is, "Boy, you talk too tough")
It only takes a single bullet to bring the fastest trigger down
Only takes a pretty woman, put a gunman underground

(And you may hear the same old story in every town, on every street)
The story of Sunset (Sunset and the Heartbreak Kid)

Dirty rain soaked through a doorway of an Upper Westside bar
And the TV news was talking to the crowd of people there
Well, the kid was always reckless, he said, "I never stay too long"
And when she knew that he would leave her Sunset shot that gunman down

(And the one mistake you make is just enough)
(And that one mistake is, "Boy, you talk too tough")
Only takes a single bullet to bring the fastest trigger down
Only takes a pretty woman, put a gunman underground

(And you may hear the same old story in every town, on every street)
The story of Sunset (Sunset and the Heartbreak Kid)

The story of Sunset (Sunset)
And (the Heartbreak Kid)
