12 Gauge

There's a 12 gauge shotgun lyin' on the floor
 She's not sure that he's breathin' anymore
 Now she's sittin' on the corner of her bed in her room
 Siren's blarin', they'll be there soon
 Now she's cryin' with her head in her hands
 She's talkin' so fast that they don't understand
 He hit her the morning, he hit her that night
 And all she remembers was a flashin' light
 But he's never gonna hit her again, never gonna hit her again
 You can be real sure about one thing, friend
 He'll never ever hit her again, come on
 Well he caught her with a quick right cross
 Didn't know the line he'd crossed
 Now there's blood in her hair and there's blood on her clothes
 Blood still runnin' from her nose
 Well she went and found a box of shells
 Gonna take him straight to hell
 There were tears on her face when her eyes turned black
 (Didn't know a 12 gauge could kick like that)
 But he's never gonna hit her again, never gonna hit her again
 You can be real sure about one thing, friend
 He'll never ever hit her again, come on
 There's a 12 gauge shotgun lyin' on the floor
 She's not sure that he's breathin' anymore
 Well they put her in the cop car, took her downtown
 All of the neighbors standin' around
 And now she's cryin' with her head in her hands
 And talkin' so fast that they don't understand
 He hit her in the morning, he hit her that night
 And all she remembers was the flashing light
 But he's never gonna hit her again, never gonna hit her again
 You can be real sure about one thing, friends
 He'll never ever hit her again come on
 No he's never gonna hit her again, never gonna hit her again
 You can be real sure of a one thing, friend
 He'll never ever hit her again
 Take me home girl
