maggie rose - whiskey and a gun lyrics

Loading...

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, tappin’ the barrel of a
fresh clean steel blue polished up .38

and i was kinda hopin’ he’d at least look scared
but all he said was “ok, she was good, and you don’t
dare”

lookin’ back now, i probably should’ve let him run
but paybacks are h-ll where i come from
any fool should know you don’t look a woman in the eye
and smile
when she knows what you’ve done
and she’s holdin’ whiskey and a gun

the sun shines grey in the prison yard
life to go was goin’ hard
when the warden started gettin’ sweet on me
he drug me up to a room one night
poured me some ‘ski, 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”

lookin’ back now, i probably should’ve let him run
but paybacks are h-ll where i come from
any fool should know you don’t look a woman in the eye
and smile
when she knows what you’ve done
and she’s holdin’ whiskey and a gun

they’re strappin’ me down and i’m scared to die
and i ain’t the kinda 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

lookin’ back now, i probably should’ve let him run
i bet paybacks are h-ll there where i’m goin’
but any fool should know you don’t look a woman in the
eye and smile
when she knows what you’ve done
and she’s holdin’ whiskey and a gun
