Bootwater Suite: The Right To Bear Arms

Lyrics

Well, I'm down on my luck, there's no air in my truck And I can't hardly pay my bills But I've got a permit and plenty of pride And if I'm rubbed the wrong way, I'll fire at will The last deputy saw no probable cause And that's why he can go home tonight Rumors make me berserk, she must think I'm a jerk But when she gets off work she'll have one big surprise I'm gonna shoot that girl of mine right between the eyes The right to bear arms never did me no harm But for her? Tonight, she's gonna die Whеn I was a boy I'd play shoot 'em up games Until I got a real gun of my own Though I might seem a lousе, when it comes to my spouse Well, I'm not playing house, darlin' This is my home So after a few drinks at the usual place Luther came up to me with a grin He said "I like your wife, I'll be takin' what's mine" And that's when I decided to drop both of them I'm gonna shoot that girl of mine right between the eyes The right to bear arms never did me no harm But for her? Tonight, she's gonna die Now you can't be too careful, gotta cover your tracks I've made these mistakes in the past Prison's no fun and I'm my momma's son So with a click and a bang? I ain't goin' back They've closed down the bar, there they are Clutching each other so tight In the chamber there's three, one for her, him and me Never let it be said my bark's worse than my bite
