Twelve Gauge

There's a twelve gauge shotgun

Laying on the floor

She's not sure

That he's breathing anymore

Now she's sitting on the corner

Of the bed in her room

Sirens blaring, they'll be there soon

Now she's crying

With her head in her hands

Talking so fast

That they don't understand

Said he hit her that morning

He hit her that night

And all she remembers

Was a flashing light

But he's never gonna hit her again

He's never gonna hit her again

You can be real sure of a one thing praying

He'll never ever hit her again

Well he caught her with a quick right cross

And didn't know the line he'd crossed

Now there's blood in her hair

And blood on her clothes

Blood still running 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

Would kick like that

But he's never gonna hit her again

He's never gonna hit her again

You can be real sure of a one thing praying

He'll never ever hit her again

There's a twelve gauge shotgun

Laying on the floor

She's not sure

That he's breathing anymore

Well they put her in the cop car

Took her downtown

All of the neighbors standing around

Now she's crying

With her head in her hands

Talking so fast

That they don't understand

Said he hit her that morning

He hit her that night

And all she remembers

Was a flashing light

But he's never gonna hit her again

He's never gonna hit her again

You can be real sure of a one thing praying

He'll never ever hit her again

No he's never gonna hit her again

He'll never, ever hit her again

You can be real sure of a one thing praying

He'll never, ever hit her again
