Shoot You Dead

When I first saw your face

It turned my whole world upside down

You put my heart into a headlock

And you threw it on the ground

You stood and stomped, you stepped on it

Yet kicked it all around

Like some empty can of Miller

Or some mangy blue-tick hound

Yeah, but a rolling heart gathers no moss

Only shit and sticks and stones

So I left those days behind me

And I struck out on my own

Now, it's three o'clock in the morning

And you call me on the phone

You say your life has gone to horse shit

And you wanna come back home

Well, if you're thinkin' 'bout comin' down

Better think again, better look around

Don't go tryin' to mess with my head

Because I got myself a gun

And I'm gonna shoot you dead

See, I got myself another but

She ain't nothin' like you, dear

She don't feel the need to slap me

Or stick pencils in my ear

So what's she have that you

Ain't got to spur this little tryst?

Well, there's sanity for starters

Oh hell, I'll just make a list

And yeah, I'm gettin' married

Just let me clear the air

Hell no, you're not invited

But I know that you don't care

'Cause you'll be there with guns

And goofy ribbons in your hair

So I made me a big ol' sign says

'Crazy, jilted hag! Beware!'

So if you're thinkin' 'bout comin' down

Better think again, better look around

Don't go tryin' to mess with my head

Because I got myself a gun

And I'm gonna shoot you dead

Ah, shoot her dead, Mike

You think I'm overreacting

And you think I've gone too far

Well, that's something I considered

'Til you tied yourself to my car

I still see you in my rear-view mirror

Your hands and face all scarred

And it was just then that I realized

What a loon you really are

So, if you're thinkin' 'bout comin' down

Better think again, better look around

Don't go tryin' to mess with my head

Because I got myself a gun

And I'm gonna shoot you dead

Yeah, if you're thinkin' 'bout comin' down

Better think again, better look around

Don't go tryin' to mess with my head

Because I got myself a gun

And I'm gonna shoot you dead

I got myself a gun

And I'm gonna shoot you dead

Yeah, I got myself a gun

And I'm gonna shoot you dead
