The Gun lyrics translation: JIM REEVES The Gun song texte and letras JIM REEVES The Gun tab, paroles and testo JIM REEVES The Gun Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
This is the story of love that came undone
This is the story of two men and a gun of two men and a gun.
A man that I`d never met stole my wife and son
But that`s been nearly three years now
And it`s over with and done
At first I`d stare out into space while hate consumed my soul
Hate was the creed by which I lived and revenge my only goal.
But the road to happiness isn`t paved with hate
I`m glad I learned how to forgive before it was too late
Now here`s the way the other man paid for what he`d done
I heard it from the man`s own lips, who took my wife and son.
I didn`t really know this man but I`d seen him round
He`s a new guard at the factory where I work west of town
This fellow swung into step with me and said I`ve got to talk
I listened spellbound at his words as we stood on the walk.
You the guard said hoarsely are a kind man I surmise
As he stood there with his handkerchief wiping in his eyes
Three years ago I wronged a man I stole his wife and son
I didn`t realize then the terrible thing that I had done.
This thing gets hold of me at night and I can`t sleep or rest
Forgive me sir, but telling it seems to get it off my chest
When my past looms up like this it kinda helps me to unload
I`m one man sir who knows for sure that you reap just what you sow.
I sure appreciate your listening it helps me a lot
You know to have that man`s forgiveness I`d give everything I`ve got
Well I feel much better now I I didn`t get your name
More why that was my wife`s name before we wed
It`s odd your name`s the same.
You know I`d kill a man who`d do to me the thing that I`ve done
And when the truth got through to him he handed me his gun
As I gave the weapon back I said what`s done is done
All I ask is just be kind to Jenny and my son... Send " The Gun" Ringtone to your Cell
