Son Of A Gun Lyrics - Emily Coles

This is a story of a guy 

Who once lived in delight like you 

This is a story of a boy 

Who traded his life of toys for you 

His cheeks sting 

His eyes are red 

He can never rest his head without one eye open 

And the marks on his nose 

Stretch down to his toes 

And the print of his father stained across his face

He's the son of a gun 

A loaded one 

Triggered by sudden movement 

He's the son of a gun 

A literal one 

Armed with every passing second 

And like tick, tick, tick, tick, tick 

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick 

This is a story of that boy 

Who came from the guy 

Whose face stung still 

This is a story of that boy 

Whose father was a lot like the one before 

His cheeks sting 

His eyes were red 

He can never rest his head without one eye open 

And the marks on his nose 

Much like the ones on those 

Hands that struck him like his father's father had before

He's the son of a gun 

A loaded one 

Triggered by sudden movement 

He's the son of a gun 

A literal one 

Armed with every passing second 

And like tick, tick, tick, tick, tick 

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick 

His cheeks sting 

His eyes are red 

He can never rest his head without one eye open 

And now he's grown old 

And he does what he's been told 

To turn into the gun
