Me and a Gun lyrics

5am

Friday morning

Thursday night far from sleep

I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously

So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live

And I wanna live

Got a full tank and some chips

It was me and a gun and a man on my back

And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants

You can laugh

It's kind of funny

Things you think in

Times like these

Like I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing

Does that mean I should spread for you,

your friends

Your father

Mr Ed

It was me and a gun and a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And I know what this means

Me and Jesus a few years back used to hang

And he said "it's your choice babe just remember

I don't think you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well"

Tell me what's right

Is it my right to be on my stomach

of Fred's Seville

It was me and a gun and a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And do you know Carolina

Where the biscuits are soft and sweet

These things go through your head when there's a man on your back

And you're pushed

flat on your stomach

it's not a classic Caddilac

It was me and a gun and a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
