And I'll put that gun away.

|
Pistol packin mama
|
Lay that thing down before it goes off and hurts somebody!
|
|
Oh, she kicked out my windshield
|
And she hit me over the head.
|
She cussed and cried and said I lied
|
And she wished that I was dead.
|
|
Oh, lay that pistol down, Babe.

Pistol packin mama
|
