Looking Back Now Lyrics - Cut To Impress - Maggie Rose

Looking back now, I probably should've let him run 

He smelled like gin with a hint of her 

Up 'til then I wasn't sure 

But he swaggered by and said "The boys said to tell you hey" 

And I was kicked back in his easy chair 

Holding a fifth tapping the barrel 

Of a fresh cleaned steel blue polished up .38 

And I was kind of hoping he'd at least look scared 

But all he said was "Okay, she was good and you don't dare" 

Looking back now I probably should've let him run 

Paybacks are hell where I come from 

And any fool should know 

You don't look a woman in the eye and smile 

When she knows what you've done 

And she's holding, whiskey and a gun 

Uh huh 

Well the sun shines gray in the prison yard 

Life to go was going hard 

When the warden started getting sweet on me 

And he drugged me to his room one night 

And poured me some 'skey gave me a light 

And I smoked slow and waited 'til he was done 

And I thought that was that 'til he got rough and I fought back 

And when I grabbed his pistol he laughed and said 

"Girl you ain't got the guts" 

Looking back now I probably should've let him run 

Paybacks are hell where I come from 

And any fool should know 

You don't look a woman in the eye and smile 

When she knows what you've done 

And she's holding whiskey and a gun 

Whiskey and a gun 

Their strapping me down and I'm scared to die 

Now I ain't the kind of girl to cry 

But I find myself begging God for mercy 

My hands are cold as I start to slip 

Sodium theopentol drips 

The room goes black and I wonder if He heard me 

Looking back now I probably should've let 'em run 

I bet paybacks are hell there where I'm goin' 

But any fool should know 

You don't look a woman in the eye and smile 

When she knows what you've done 

And she's holdin' whiskey and a gun 

Whiskey and a gun 

Whiskey and a gun 

Whiskey and a gun
