Twelve Gauge

There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin on the floor

She's not sure that he's breathin anymore

Now she's sittin on the corner of her bed in her room

Siren's blarin they'll be there soon.

Now she's cryin with her head in her hands

Talkin so fast that they don't understand

Said he hit her that morning, he hit her that night

All she remembers was a flashin light

But he's never gonna hit her again, he's never gonna hit her again

You can be real sure of one thing friend, he'll never ever hit her again.

Well he caught her with a quick right cross

Didn't know the line he'd crossed

Now there's blood in her hair and blood on her clothes

Blood still runnin' from her nose

Well she went and found a box of shells

Gonna take him straight to hell

There were tears on her face when her eyes turned black

Didn't know a twelve gauge could kick like that

There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin on the floor

She's not sure that he's breahin anymore

Well they put her in the cop car, took her downtown

All of the neighbors standin around

And now she's cryin with her head in her hands

And talkin to fast that they don't understand

Said he hit her in the morning, he hit her that night

All she remembered was a flashing light
