Loaded Gun
Love's Last Stand: A Ballad of Whiskey, Regret, and Redemption
Lyrics
My right hand holds a cold corona bottle
Expressing holding a cold corona bottle in the right hand.
My left hand holds a half a fifth of Gin
Indicating holding a half-fifth of Gin in the left hand.
My right arm reaches out for her love only
Desiring the love of someone, reaching out with the right arm.
But my left still embraces a life of sin
Despite the desire for love, still embracing a sinful life with the left hand.
We had ourselves the sweetest little family
Reflecting on a past sweet family life.
We laughed and sang and had a lot of fun
Recalling moments of laughter, singing, and fun within the family.
But I drowned it in a sea of stinkin' whiskey
Acknowledging the destruction of the family happiness with excessive whiskey.
And now the only little love that's left is a loaded gun
Conveying that the only remaining love is now symbolized by a loaded gun, implying a destructive force.
My right hand holds a vile of trainqualizers
Mentioning holding a vial of tranquilizers in the right hand.
My left hand holds a loaded .38
Revealing the possession of a loaded .38 in the left hand.
I've got a young girl who's anticipating romance
Describing a young girl anticipating romance.
But it's looking like she will have to wait
Suggesting that the anticipated romance may be delayed or hindered.
We had ourselves the sweetest little family
Repeating the description of a past happy family life.
We laughed and sang and had a lot of fun
Reiterating the joyful moments with laughter and singing in the family.
But I drowned it in a sea of stinkin' whiskey
Reiterating the destructive impact of whiskey on the family.
And now the only little love that's left is a loaded gun
Reiterating that the only remaining love is now represented by a loaded gun.
And now the only little love that's left is a loaded gun
Emphasizing the persistence of the destructive force symbolized by the loaded gun as the only love left.
