The Gun Songtext
von Taddy Porter

Met a man outside he said he knew you
Say you did him wrong outside Missouri
Who′s to care what you've done or what you′re sayin'
Either way I'm gettin′ paid, my money′s made
'Cause I′m the gun, that's come to shoot you down

Rumor has it that lust has led to liars
There′s a green night man who wants your fire
If you can give me one reason to hold this kill
I'm blind like justice, inclined to make a deal
′Cause I'm the gun that's come to shoot you down

I′m gonna sing my favorite song
While the devil′s gonna sing along
Under the peppermint sky you're still gonna die
Let it begin, let it begin, let it begin


There′s a man outside he said he knew you
Preachin' whiskey and water, hallelujah
If you can get me one reason to hold this kill
I′m blind like justice, inclined to make a deal
'Cause I′m the gun that's come to shoot you down
But when you haven't sung
Better not hold your tongue

I′m gonna sing my favorite song
And the devil′s gonna sing along
Under the peppermint sky you're still gonna die
Let it begin, let it begin, let it begin

Rumor has it that lust has led to liars
And there′s a green night man who wants your fire
I'm the gun, that′s come, to shoot you down

I'm gonna sing my favorite song
While the devil′s gonna sing along
Under a peppermint sky you're still gonna die
Let it begin, let it begin

I'm gonna sing my favorite song
While the devil′s gonna sing along
Under the peppermint sky you′re still gonna die
Let it begin, let it begin, let it begin
Let it begin, let it begin, let it begin
This is the end
