Maggie Rose - Whiskey And A Gun lyrics

He smelled like gin with a hint of her Up 'till 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, tappin' the barrel of a Fresh clean steel blue polished up .38 And I was kinda hopin' he'd at least look scared But all he said was "OK, she was good, and you don't dare" Lookin' back now, I probably should've let him run But paybacks are hell where I come from 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 The sun shines grey in the prison yard Life to go was goin' hard When the warden started gettin' sweet on me He drug me up to a room one night Poured me some 'ski, gave me a light And I smoked slow and waited 'till he was done And I thought that was that 'Till he got rough and I fought back And when I grabbed his pistol he laughed and said "Girl, you ain't got the guts" Lookin' back now, I probably should've let him run But paybacks are hell where I come from 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 They're strappin' me down and I'm scared to die And I ain't the kinda girl to cry But I find myself begging God for mercy My hands are cold as I start to slip Sodium thiopental drips The room goes black and I wonder if He heard me Lookin' back now, I probably should've let him 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
