six string shooter

i know a girl who’s a country singer

she sings about love and broken hearts

she points her axe and she pulls the trigger,

she’ll shoot you dead with just six strings, her

notes become bullets that tear you apart…

This girl plays a tele, this girl plays it mean

you watch your lip, she’ll shoot from the hip

and spitshine your eardrums clean.

she don’t show no quarter

she won’t make a scene

but i’d head for the door when she’s counting to four

she’s a mean telecaster machine…

I know a girl who’s a country player

but she don’t pick and she don’t strum

she takes that stage like a blonde tornado

attacks that song like a dragon slayer

you’re only safe blind deaf and dumb

(and) when she straps on that tele, son

i’ll bet you’ll be surprised

you won’t be hearin lynn anderson

or linda, loretta or ms parton,

but ana and bonnie and susan by gum

and you’ll stay til sunrise…

 –

but get her off on her lonesome

you’re in for quite a surprise

she’ll grab your heart and then some,

you’ll think you’re young and handsome

get ready to pay the ransom

when she aims between your eyes…

This girl plays a tele, this girl plays it mean

you watch your lip, she’ll shoot from the hip

and spitshine your eardrums clean

she don’t show no quarter

she won’t make a scene

but i’d head for the door when she’s counting to four

she’s a mean telecaster machine…
