Lyrics

“Brand-New Gun”
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
Some girls cry about a break-up,
Some go on a shopping spree,
Some sit down on the living room couch and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream,
But Amanda Jackson isn’t some girls;
She only ever buys one thing.
When her man goes walking, then her fingers do the talking in the trigger ring.

PRECHORUS
You gotta face your fears
That’s what she believes
You gotta beat back them tears
If you wanna be free

CHORUS I
She’s got a brand-new gun
She’s gonna set her sights
She’s gonna take aim at her troubles and she’ll fire
She’s got a brand-new chance
‘Cause what’s done is done
And all this pain won’t make her afraid to love someone
She’s got a brand new gun

VERSE II
Well, Mandy goes to the shooting range
With a bagful of photographs,
And with a bottle of paste she’ll stick her ex-boy’s face to the cardboard target-man.
Ten points if she wings him,
Twenty-one for between-the-eyes,
And about a hundred million if she manages to hit him in his cheating heart’s bulls-eye.

~ PRECHORUS ~ CHORUS I ~

BRIDGE
And she might hesitate for a second
And you could catch her start rubbing her eyes
But then she just picks up her weapon
And you won’t ever see her cry

CHORUS II
She’s got a brand new gun
And it’s a brand-new day
And all the hurting has been burned and blown away
She’s got a brand-new smile
And it’s a real wide one
She’s gonna go out on this town and have some fun
With a brand new gun

~ CHORUS I ~
