I could grow old with you Baby girl, But I’m not looking for love, My sweet doll, ‘Cause nowadays I’ve a six shooter on my hip that I keep loaded With three bullets And three lies And the pocket on my side Has a lighter And a key for a night, They accept the fire Because all six hit Even though they went through the other side, Always equipped with a smile In case the tide rolls out Or rolls in Or whether she sink her feet into The wet sand next to mine, Standing on my two All the time And that too is all I’ve got left For now, But then I’ll just breathe when she catwalks up With those grown dry eyes And her own gun To my stomach, Red dripping from the jacket As she whispers. “Bleed slow, honey”

Honey
I could grow old with you Baby girl, But I’m not looking for love, My sweet doll, ‘Cause nowadays I’ve a six shooter on my hip that I keep loaded With three bullets And three lies And the pocket on my side Has a lighter And a key for a night, They accept the fire Because all six hit Even though they went through the other side, Always equipped with a smile In case the tide rolls out Or rolls in Or whether she sink her feet into The wet sand next to mine, Standing on my two All the time And that too is all I’ve got left For now, But then I’ll just breathe when she catwalks up With those grown dry eyes And her own gun To my stomach, Red dripping from the jacket As she whispers. “Bleed slow, honey”
