Met her at a club late one night
Couldn't see her face 'cause there's no light
She's comin' on strong and it felt alright
Forgot about my girl 'till she came in sight.

Then this woman says "you're lookin' uptight"
My stomach caved in and I said she was right
I knew it right then we were in for a fight
It's bound to get bloody tonight.

Layin' there bleedin' I knew I had a hit
And all I had to do was stay alive to record it
I'd have gold records hangin' on my wall
And if I die I just might get famous after all.

Happened once before, last place we played
Hid 'em in the green room, thought they had stayed
Knockin' down drinks right after the show
She comes boppin' on in, little friend in tow.

My girl looks at me - a look that I know
I said "they ain't mine, and it's time to go"
She starts a' laughin', evil look in her eye
Make a man shiver and wanna die.

She catch me once again it might turn out bad
She killed a man once for makin' her sad
I had no idea when we started to date
But I caught a hint once when I was late.

Started just a' screamin' "don't make me wait!"
"You do it again - you're temptin' fate!"
Ever since then I've been on guard
I already found one guy buried in the yard.

I tried for reason and this was my plea
This rock 'n' roll life ain't easy on me
I always wanna sleep with every girl I see
When I joined the band it was meant to be.

They're just like peaches fallin' off the tree
Then I got you, now ya wanna kill me
I said "hey honey, rock's supposed to be free"
She pulled out her gun 'n' started shootin' at me.

Tried to crawl away, it was takin' too long
But I started thinkin' it'll make a hell of a song
'Bout some damn fool who did his girl wrong
I heard a melody, it was really strong.

In one last try I started singin' along
I said "hey baby, it's all 'bout you!"
"You know I luv ya honey, it's the least I can do"
She didn't stop shootin' 'till the chorus was through.

If ya join a band got a tip for you
Here's a few things you don't wanna do
Hook yourself to a girl who's got a gun
It makes a threesome, but not a lot of fun.

This rock 'n' roll life will take a toll on you
It'll eat you up, no matter what you do
Ain't gettin' famous no matter how hard you try
Unless your baby shoots you 'till you die.
