It was a hot and steamy night
Then Frankie pulled his gun in sight
He said, now, Susie, don't you lie
Did Stevie 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' Steve is a liar
Girl, I've got my finger 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 Susie
So long, girl

The gunshot 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, yeah

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, Susie
So long
