Lyrics for Cleaning My Gun - Recorded Live At Pabst Theatre, Milwaukee, WI on April 23, 2011

You and I went gently, you and I went far and wide You and I went deeply, you and I went for a ride But somewhere in the ashes of this burning lovers' game Somehow you decided you would find another flame And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut I'll be cleaning my gun I'll be cleaning my gun When heaven or hell takes this life I'll be done You never lied to me, never said you'd be around for long But somehow I believed that you would be my only one Cause you know where I'm going, and you know where I'm coming from But now this train is slowly coming to its final destination And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut I'll be cleaning my gun, yeah I'll be cleaning my gun When heaven or hell takes this life I'll be done Mother always told me love would save me from myself Daddy always said that love would take me straight to hell Sometimes they were right and sometimes they were oh so wrong Cause I'm cleaning my gun, yeah I'm cleaning my gun When heaven or hell takes this life I'll be done When heaven or hell takes this life I'll be done
