Loaded Gun In The Closet by Drive-by Truckers
Loaded Gun In The Closet lyrics
I got a loaded gun in the closet
and another one in the dresser drawer
just in case the one in the closet didn�t make a big enough hole.
She had his breakfast ready every morning
and his lunch in a box sitting there by the kitchen door.
She�d make sure he had everything he needed
and hug his neck and tell him how much she loved him
and it was beautiful.
You should have seen it.
Then she�d make herself a pot of coffee,
just the way she liked it
and sit down and enjoy the quiet of the house all alone,
but, by two-o-clock or so every afternoon
the quiet would start getting to her and she�d watch
the clock until he came back home.
And she understood just what he needed
when he came home every evening
was a couple of beers and a couple of minutes
to cuss about his day.
So she�d fix him a nice hot supper
while he ranted and raved about one thing or the other.
And she never once told him what he was going on about
didn�t add up to a thing.
And she never touched that gun in the closet.
It was his and it was there just because he wanted it to be.
She didn�t get out much, so she never knew just what it was
that made him so afraid.
Most women today would say she was a disgrace.
Most men would say she wasn�t much to look at.
And they all would say she�d be a lot better off
if she cared a little more about what they all think.
She could have a life of her own if she had a little pride,
some silicone implants, and another man on the side.
But she�s got a loaded gun in the closet.
And it�s there anytime she wants it.
And her one and only man knows it and
that�s why he put it there in the first place.
