Gunfighter
Love and Bullets: The Intense Journey of a Gunfighter's Heart
Lyrics
I got some big six-shooters
I possess large six-shooters (guns).
Packed up on my steed
Carried on my horse.
And only take 'em off
I only remove them when there's a target to harm.
Unless I got some flesh to feed
Suggests a violent intent, waiting for an opportunity to use the guns.
Intimidation to the max
Maximum intimidation is what affects me.
Is what'll do it to me
Expresses the impact of intimidation on the speaker.
I'll rip it right and rip it left
Willing to cause harm to both sides (right and left).
Just to make your heart bleed
Inflicting pain to evoke a strong emotional response.
Layin' down in the dirt
Resting in a low state with alcohol.
A big bottle of wine
Suggests a form of escapism through alcohol.
Rather listen to some blues
Preference for blues music or passionate love over negativity.
Or love a woman 'til she's blind
Choosing positive experiences over negative ones.
Got a lot of time to waste
Time spent on maintaining and showing off weapons.
On shining my big guns
Emphasis on the speaker's readiness for action.
When I ride into your town
Upon entering a town, there's a desire for excitement.
You and your sister want some fun
Suggests a desire for companionship and enjoyment.
I'm looking for a Juliet to take my cowboy blues away

The ten blue broken hearts behind me they're not mine
