We Both Reached For The Gun Lyrics - Chicago

Mr. Billy Flynn in the press conference rag 

Notice his mouth never moves, almost 

Where'd you come from? 

Mississippi 

And your parents? 

Very wealthy 

Where are they now? 

Six feet under 

But she was granted one more start 

The convent of The Sacred Heart 

When'd you get here? 

1920 

How old were you? 

Don't remember 

Then what happened? 

I met Amos and he stole my heart away 

Convinced me to elope one day

Oh you poor dear ! I can't believe what you've been through !A convent girl! A run-away marriage! 

Who's Fred Casely? 

My ex-boyfriend 

Why'd you shoot him? 

I was leavin' 

Was he angry? 

Like a madman 

Still I said, "Fred, move along" 

She knew that she was doin' wrong 

Then describe it 

He came toward me 

With a pistol? 

From my bureau 

Did you fight him? 

Like a tiger 

He had strength and she had none

And yet we both reached for the gun 

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, we both, oh yes we both 

Oh yes, we both reached for the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun 

Oh yes, we both reached for the gun, for the gun 

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both, oh yes, they both 

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun 

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun 

Understandable, understandable 

Yes, it's perfectly understandable 

Comprehensible, comprehensible 

Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible 

How're you feeling? 

Very frightened 

Are you sorry? 

Are you kidding? 

What's you're statement? 

All I'd say is, though my choo-choo jumped the track 

I'd give my life to bring him back 

And? 

Stay away from 

What? 

Jazz and liquor 

And? 

And the men who 

What? 

Play for fun 

And what? 

That's the thought that 

Yeah 

Came upon me 

When? 

When we both reached for the gun 

Understandable, understandable 

Yes, it's perfectly understandable 

Comprehensible, comprehensible 

Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible 

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both, oh yes, they both 

(Let me hear it!) 

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun 

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun 

(Little louder) 

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both, oh yes they both 

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun 

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun 

(Now you got it) 

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both, oh yes they both 

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun 

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun 

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both 

Oh yes, they both, oh yes, they both reached for the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun 

(Both reached for the gun) 

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun 

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun 

Both reached for the gun
