Billy Cobb 17 Guns Lyrics

[Chorus]
Seventeen guns are pointed at my head
And if one pops I'll surely meet my end
He'll send me down the river full of bullet holes and liquor
'Cause heaven knows God wants to see me dead

[Verse]
One is for the cocaine I've been dealing
Two is for the cocaine I've consumed
Three is for the taxes spent on gambling
And four is for the marriages I've doomed
[Chorus]
Seventeen guns are pointed at my head
And if one pops I'll surely meet my end
He'll send me down the river full of bullet holes and liquor
'Cause heaven knows God wants to see me dead

[Verse 2]
Five is for the pink slips I've been stealing
Six is for the bloodstains on my gloves
Seven is for hurting my mothers feelings
And eight is for my father's grave I dug

[Chorus]
Seventeen guns are pointed at my head
And if one pops I'll surely meet my end
He'll send me down the river full of bullet holes and liquor 'Cause heaven knows God wants to see me dead

[Verse 3]
Nine is for the affairs I've been causing
Ten is for the debts I've left unpaid
Eleven is for the outlaws I'm out drawing
And twelve is for breaking free from ball and chain

[Bridge]
And thirteen's for burning my native flag
And fourteen's for stealing countless money bags
And fifteen's for a not-so-subtle brag
And sixteen for my face
[Verse 4]
Seventeen's a bullet in my chamber
And like the others pointed at my head
And as I'm looking down that iron barrel
It's the only one I fear I might regret

[Chorus]
Seventeen guns are pointed at my head
And if one pops I'll surely meet my end
He'll send me down the river full of bullet holes and liquor
'Cause heaven knows God wants to see me
Heaven knows God wants to see me
Heaven knows God wants to see me dead
