American Revolver Lyrics

She�s crying again
You lay quiet on her chest
She knows you�re a dangerous comfort
But you haven�t broken her heart yet

She wants to feel safe again
She thinks that you understand
Maybe it�s crazy maybe it�s brave
Either way it�s a losing game

She�s hoping she�ll know what to do
With a 6 shot 22

When the only one who�s innocent is cold blue steel
For the first time someone�s listening to how she feels
Lord knows you can�t save her
You can�t stop or change her plans
Just an American revolver

You�re proof she means what she says
It�s a fairer fight with you around
To rescue her if things get so bad
There�s no other possible way out

She keeps going back and forth
Between herself and the door

When the only one who�s innocent is cold blue steel
For the first time someone�s listening to how she feels
Lord knows you can�t save her
You can�t stop or change her plans
Just an American revolver

Too late now for I�m sorry - American revolver
He�s coming up the front steps - American revolver
He�s been drinking again
She keeps going back and forth
Between herself and the door

When the only one who�s innocent is cold blue steel
But this time someone�s gonna listen to how she feels
Lord knows you can�t save her
You can�t stop or change her plans
Just an American revolver
