Dusty wind blew 'cross the high plains  
as a stranger rode into town  
with a certain reputation  
for the ladies and a gun  
he walked to the bar so casual  
just as easy as you please  
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 a score  
   
and the one mistake you make is just enough  
and that one mistake is "Boy, you talk too tough"  
only takes a single bullet  
bring the fastest trigger down  
only takes a pretty woman  
put a gunman underground  
and you may hear the same old story  
in ev'ry town, on ev'ry street  
the story of 'Sunset'... and the  
Heartbreak Kid  
   
dirty rain soaked through the 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'll never stay too long..."  
"..and when she knew that he would leave her  
Sunset shot that gunman down..."  
[chorus]  
"Oh, the story of 'Sunset'...  
and the Heartbreak Kid."
