Run From My Gun

well i came home early to surprise her
had flowers and a bottle of wine
was gonna she her she'd been on my mind
but there was a truck i didnt recognize
sittin in our drive
well i rushed up stairs
pistole in my hand
i was gonna shoot him dead
two shots to the head

hoss you better start runnin
cuz i aint afraid to use this gun
i'll end it all right now
i looked him in the eye
i could see the fear
as that barrel got near
i wasnt thinking straight
i didnt hesitate
as i cocked that hammer back
he didnt even have enough time to react
son you better run
run from my gun

all i could hear
was her yelling baby dont do it
i told her to shut the hell up
you're the one that went through with it
my hands were steady
i was more than ready
to take a mans life
that night

hoss you better start runnin
cuz i aint afraid to use this gun
i'll end it all right now
i looked him in the eye
i could see the fear
as that barrel got near
i wasnt thinking straight
i didnt hesitate
as i cocked that hammer back
he didnt even have enough time to react
son you better run
run from my gun

after all was said and done
and i heard those sirens start to come
i was the one on the run
oh

hoss you better start runnin
cuz i aint afraid to use this gun
i'll end it all right now
i looked him in the eye
i could see the fear
as that barrel got near
i wasnt thinking straight
i didnt hesitate
as i cocked that hammer back
he didnt even have enough time to react
son you better run
run from my gun
