Cleaning My Gun Lyrics - Songbook - Chris Cornell

You and I went gently, you and I went far and wide 

You and I went deeply, you and I went for a ride 

But somewhere in the ashes of this burning lovers' game 

Somehow you decided you would find another flame 

And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut 

I'll be cleaning my gun 

I'll be cleaning my gun 

When heaven or hell takes this life 

I'll be done 

You never lied to me, never said you'd be around for long 

But somehow I believed that you would be my only one 

Cause you know where I'm going, and you know where I'm coming from 

But now this train is slowly coming to its final destination 

And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut 

I'll be cleaning my gun, yeah 

I'll be cleaning my gun 

When heaven or hell takes this life 

I'll be done 

Mother always told me love would save me from myself 

Daddy always said that love would take me straight to hell 

Sometimes they were right and sometimes they were oh so wrong 

Cause I'm cleaning my gun, yeah 

I'm cleaning my gun 

When heaven or hell takes this life 

I'll be done 

When heaven or hell takes this life 

I'll be done
