Lyrics
He was drunk, depressed, and crazy
When he bought himself a gun
Over the counter in some pawn shop on South Main
One feel of that cold steel
And he gratefully unwanted
The last fifty dollars to his name
Well, he walked back to the subdivision
Into the house, all excited to show her his new gun
Well, she stopped packin' right away
When he put it to her head
And told her, "The thing is I still love you, hon"
See your reflection in the blue steel
And it's too late to run
The romance was gone with that first bruise
See, Cupid don't shoot arrows out the barrel of a gun
And love don't make the ten o'clock news
Well, she waited 'til he passed out
Then she dashed her cigarette out
In a crumpled pile with her old wedding gown
She thumbed a ride to Fredericksburg
Got a car there at the Hertz
And she stopped into a pawn shop west of town
He tracked her credit card to Clovis
Just to tell her he still loved her
He found her waitin' tables in some bar
She smiled, said, "Oh, darlin'"
Slid her hand beneath her apron
And she blew a hole right through that fucker's heart
Well they acquitted her on grounds
Of the gun in his cold hand
Still, she don't smile much since that bloody day
They UPS'd back both the guns
Inherited and owned
So she sold them in some pawn shop on South Main
See your reflection in the blue steel
And it's too late to run
The romance was gone with that first bruise
See, Cupid don't shoot arrows out the barrel of a gun
And love don't make the ten o'clock news
See, Cupid don't shoot arrows out the barrel of a gun
And love don't make the ten o'clock news
