Her Colt 45

I woke up, you were staring
I could see that you were bearing
Something heavy was weighing on your mind
My heart began to shudder
The words that I muttered
Didn’t work like they did last time

And I was caught red handed
Just like a bandit
Tried, convicted, sentenced all in one
Hell I never stood a chance
Red lipstick on my pants
I took the hint when you got your gun

Chorus:
I was running you were screaming
I was almost at the door
You caught me with the butt end
On my head I hit the floor
I never saw it coming
You took me by surprise
I was ambushed by my baby and her Colt 45

I saw it in your eyes
You had the devil deep inside
You shouted out a warning
I had no place left to hide
You took aim and pulled the trigger
Heard a click and I figured
It must not be my day to die

I was laying on the floor
Shaken from the horror
Wondering when the next was gonna fly
I cried like a baby in hopes that maybe
You would forgive me one last time

And I was caught red handed
Just like a bandit
Tried, convicted, sentenced all in one
Hell I never stood a chance
Red lipstick on my pants
I took the hint when you got your gun

Bridge:
When I opened up my eyes
I saw an angel in disguise
You wrapped your arms around me
And told me “no more lies”

Chorus:
I was running you were screaming
I was almost at the door
You caught me with the butt end
on my head I hit the floor
I never saw it coming
You took me by surprise
I was ambushed by my baby and her Colt 45
I was ambushed by my baby and her Colt 45
Staring down the barrel of her
Of her Colt 45
