Whiskey & A Gun
He smelled like gin with a hint of her Up till then I wasn't sure But he swaggered by and said The boys said to tell you, hey
And I was kicked back in his easy chair Holding a fifth, tapping the bell Of a fresh clean, still blue polished up '38
And I was kind of hoping He in at least look scared But all he said was, 'Okay, she was good' And you don't dare
Looking back now I probably should've let him run The paybacks are hell where I come from
Any fool should know You don't look a woman in the eye and smile She knows what you've done And she's holding whiskey and a gun
The suns shine's grey in the prison yard Life to go was going hard When the warden started getting sweet on me He drugged me up to room one night Poured me some 'skey, gave me a light And I smoked slow and waited till he was done
And I thought that was that Till he got rough and I fought back And when I grabbed his pistol he laughed and said 'Girl, you ain't got the guts' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Looking back now I probably should've let him run The paybacks are hell where I come from
Any fool should know You don't look the woman in the eye and smile She knows what you've done And she's holding a whiskey and a gun Whiskey and a gun
They're strapping me down And I'm scared to die And I ain't the kind of girl to cry But I find myself begging God for mercy
My hands are cold as I start to slip Sodium Thiopental drips The room goes black And I wonder if He heard me
Looking back now I probably should've let him run I bet paybacks are hell there where I'm going
And any fool should know You don't look a woman in the eye and smile She knows what you've done And she's holding whiskey and a gun Whiskey and a gun Whiskey and a gun Whiskey and a gun
