REBA MCENTIRE - You Can't Get A Man With A Gun lyrics

Oh my mother was frightened by a shotgun they say

That's why I'm such a wonderful shot

I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day

And now tell me, what have I got

I'm quick on the trigger

With targets not much bigger than a pinpoint

I'm number one

But my score with a feller

Is lower than a cellar

No you can't get a man with a gun

When I'm with a pistol

I sparkle like a crystal

Yes I shine like the morning sun

But I lose all my luster when with a crumple buster

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

With a gun! With a gun!

No you can't get a man with a gun

If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle

You'd have steak when the job was done

But if I shot the herder

They'd holler bloody murder!

And you can't get a hug from a mug with a slug

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

I'm cool, brave and darin'

To see a line a-blarin' when I'm out with my rimming tongue

But a look from a mister

Will raise a fever blister

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

The gals with umbrellers

Are always out with fellers

In the rain or the blazing sun

But a man never traffles with gals who carry rifles

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

With a gun! With a gun!

No you can't get a man with a gun

A Tom, Dick, or Harry

Will build a house for Carrie when the preacher has made 'em one

But he can't build ya houses with buckshot in his trousers

And you can't shoot a man in the tail like a quaile

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

A man's love is mighty

He'll even buy a nighty for a gal who he thinks is fun

But they don't by pajamas for pistol-packin' mamas!

Oh, a man may be hot, but he's not

When he's shot!

Oh you can't get a man with a gun!
