She's Out With A Gun

(Album: Van Zant - 1985)

Cold steel, tucked out of sight
Bullets speak louder than words
No tears, falling tonight
Oh this time she's gonna be heard

She's done, closing her eyes
To a stranger that he's become
And as he flashes into her mind
She feels the trigger, she feels the trigger

She's out with a gun
She's gonna get even this time
It's over and done
She's laying it all on the line

For so long, she was his life
As sure as the moon and the stars
But he turned the fire into ice
Now there's a new face in his heart

Love kills as sure as it blinds
But life swallows up the soul
And once you cross right over that line
It's gone forever, it's gone forever

She's out with a gun
She's gonna get even this time
It's over and done
She's laying it all on the line
