I’m Your Gun (Letra)
Blew my smoke on a sunny day
When the first black powder came my way.
Hot lead ball from a muzzle cold —
To win fair lady and take your gold.
I know it hardly seems the time —
(i am your gun)
To talk of blue steel so sublime.
I can understand your point of view.
To tell the truth i’d scare me too.
Match, wheel and flintlock, they all caught your eye.
Pearl-handled ladies’ models, scaled down to size.
I am the peacemaker, so the theory goes.
But i don’t choose the company i keep —
And it shows.
I am your gun.
Love me, i’m your gun.
Maxim and browning, they helped me along.
Stoner, kalashnikov — thrilled to my song.
Now one of me exists, for each one of you,
So how can you blame me for the things that i do?
Now i take second place to the motor car
In the score of killing kept thus far.
And just remember, if you don’t mind —
It’s not the gun that kills
But the man behind.
I am your gun.
