Double Barrel

I learned to be tough growing up in between

Mama's addiction to dad getting clean

Bound and determined to find something more

Drug down by baggage I bring to the door

The heart that's on this sleeve's a loaded gun

The safety's off this will and won't give up

My love for you's a long shot

And there's damage in these bullets

So I can't promise you where they'll go

My finger's on the trigger and I ain't afraid to pull it

But before I do I gotta let you know

I got the short end of a double barrel

I can't pick my brush, but I'll learn how to paint

With the colors you're bringing to my shades of gray

You can show me where to aim, but I'm still bound to miss

But for better or for worse

I don't know how to quit

My love for you's a long shot

And there's damage in these bullets

So I can't promise you where they'll go

My finger's on the trigger and I ain't afraid to pull it

But before I do I gotta let you know

I got the short end of a double barrel

The heart that's on this sleeve's a loaded gun

The safety's off this will and won't give up

My love for you's a long shot

And there's damage in these bullets

So I can't promise you where they'll go

My finger's on the trigger and I ain't afraid to pull it

But before I do I gotta let you know

I got the short end of a double barrel
