Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here's a song I wrote a while ago, I never, it's never been on anything
It's called, Cleaning My Gun
[Verse 2]
You and I went deeply, you and I went far and wide
You and I went gently, you and I went for a ride
But, somewhere in the ashes of this burning lovers' game
Somehow you decided that you would find another flame
[Verse 3]
And as you lay sleeping with your, your eyes softly shut
I will be cleaning my gun
Cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life, I'll be done
[Verse 4]
You never lied to me, never said you'd be around for long
But somehow I believed that you would be my only one
'Cause you know where I'm going and you know where I'm coming from
But now this train is slowly coming to its final destination
[Verse 5]
And as you lay sleeping with your, your eyes softly shut
I will be cleaning my gun
Cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life, I'll be done
[Verse 6]
Cleaning my gun
Cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life, I'll be done
[Verse 7]
And as you lay sleeping with your, your eyes softly shut
I know it ain't me that you're dreaming of
[Verse 8]
Mama always told me love would save me from myself
Daddy always said that love would take me straight to hell
Sometimes they were righteous and sometimes they were, oh, so wrong
[Verse 9]
'Cause I'm cleaning my gun
I'm cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life, I'll be done
[Verse 10]
Cleaning my gun
Cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life, I'll be done
When heaven or hell takes this life, I'll be done
I'll be done
[Verse 11]
Thank you
