Gasoline Lollipops - Woman and a Gun Lyrics

Old Jessie was an outlaw.
It was just his bad disposition.
Some say he was born that way,
I think he probably made a decision.

Old Jessie liked the girls.
He loved everyone he saw
But everybody knows
The sheriff's daughter, Rose
Made him forget them all.

Oh, the sheriff was a bad man,
But he had a good excuse.
"The ends will justify the means, my friends.
I'm gonna put Jessie's head in a noose."

Jessie said, "c woman and a gun
Will keep me warm, will keep me warm
All through the night.
C woman and a gun
Will keep me warm, will keep me warm
In the afterlife."

One day by the banks of Green River
The sheriff caught Jessie with his daughter.
He spoke not a word,
Just squeezed that trigger
And blew them both into the water.
Jesse felt his feet in the mud,
Rose watched a cloud pass made of blood.
The river was in their lungs,
And these words were on the tip of his tongue.

He said, "c woman and a gun
Will keep me warm, will keep me warm
All through the night.
C woman and a gun
Will keep me warm, will keep me warm
In the afterlife."

Cll my faith is a bullet.
Cll my God is a gun.
Cll this world is just smoke and mirrors.
I'm gonna break them one by one.
I'm gonna break them one by one.
I'm gonna break them one by one.

Cll that's real is a woman,
All that's true is her flesh,
And all you've got is her memory
For company after death,
For company after death,
For company after death.
