Don't you pull that trigger now, just leave that trigg'r 'lone
Put that gun away now sonny, won't you take that gun back home
Cause you see I just can't let this big man in my door
Even if that means I'll be laid out on the floor

Got that steel in his hand, and babe it's ice cold
Standin my ground, won't let fear take hold
But that gun's in my direction, it's pointed at my heart
'N I ain't dead yet now, 'n I ain't about to start

Trigger pulls the hammer, hammer makes a spark
Spark lights a fire, illuminates the dark
Fire pushes out, bullet touch the groove
Man'll kill ya if he's in the--if he's in the wrong mood.

And there's five more watchin, yeah there's five more at my door
But I'm here in the middle and, please forgive me, Lord,
But I only got just, just ONE thought in my head
My sweet little baby, she's upstairs in our bed.

Trigger pulls the hammer, hammer makes a spark
Spark lights a fire, illuminates the dark
If that fire pushes out, a bullet's rushin in
And that's the end, my friend--*
That's the end.
