I Got A Gun Lyrics - John Hiatt

She took some blood and tears 

From an old fruit jar 

She rubbed it on her belly 

Where he left his scars 

She's such a fragile thing 

Like pigeon bones 

He couldn't whip my little brother 

He wouldn't leave her alone 

So if you see that man 

Done these things to her 

Tell him, he'd better run 

I got a gun 

I got a gun y'all 

Justice will be done 

I got a gun, got a gun

They say a man with a weapon 

He gets 99 years 

But I would give my life 

To wash away her tears 

So if you see that man 

Done these things to her 

Tell him, he'd better run 

I got a gun 

I got a gun y'all 

Justice will be done 

I got a gun, got a gun

Now I never looked at a pistol 

But now I lost my grip 

The judge would only give him a slap on the wrist 

I ain't had it very long 

But now it's in my hand 

She took her very last whippin' from that spineless man 

I got a gun 

I got a gun y'all 

Justice will be done 

I got a gun, got a gun
