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
