It was a hot and steamy night, Then
Frankie pulled his gun in sight. He
said, "Now Suzi, don't you lie. Did
Stevey, did he catch you with another
guy?" Standing in the line of fire
it's gonna shoot ya. Standing in
the line of fire it's comin' to ya, It's
goin' through ya. He told her
that he had been true, And that
he'd never made her blue, no. So
don't go sayin' Stevey's a liar, Girl,
I've got my finder on a hair-trigger
wire. Standing in the line of
fire it's gonna shoot ya. Standing
in the line of fire it's comin' to
ya, It's goin' through ya. Bye,
bye, bye, Suzi. So long girl. Those
gunshots echoed through the town. Oh
Frankie threw his shotgun down. That
roof had moonlight shinin' through. She
said she'd never, never, never, make
him blue, yea. Standing in the
line of fire it's gonna shoot ya. Standing
in the line of fire it's comin' to
ya, Standing in the line of fire
it's gonna shoot ya. It's goin'
through ya. Bye, bye, bye, Suzi. So
long.
