There's A Gun Still Smokin' In Nashville Lyrics

She was sixteen on her own
With no place to call her home
She had the dreams of a child
But the heart of a woman turned to stone
And every night she slept
She never woke up alone
When Annie was around, she'd get the party going on

She fell in love with a man who knew her past
But only asked her stay by him
A few years went by, a child came
And so did her bad ways again
And one night when she was more than lonely
She called an old obliging friend
And while they held each other
The man who really loved her happened to walk in

Chorus:
Tonight there's a gun still smoking in Nashville And Annie's dying in bed
He pulled that gun from the closet
And put a bullet in her head
And his child cried, "Daddy, what you do that for?"
But he didn't hear the words he said
All he saw was his wife with another man lying naked in his bed

Well, they buried Annie two days later
In the early morning dew
And the little boy was crying for his mama
And so was his daddy, too
And he said, "Son, I'll get back to you
God willing, in a year or two
Try to forgive me, 'cause all I got is you."

Repeat Chorus
