Love And A 45 Lyrics

Badge number 301

Sits in his car and stares at his gun              

He wipes the the blood from his shirt,             

The sweat from his brow

He got out this time but he don't know how



Well he'd go on home but nobody's there

No one to hold no one to care

There was a time he had someone       

But one day he came home, she was gone



Love and a .45 

Are all you need to get through the night

One'll kill you one'll keep you alive 

Love and a .45



Parole number fourteen two        

Stands on the corner like she used to do

She's been away awhile so she's a little afraid

And the judge said he didn't want to see her again



But she's got no money she's got no rent

The money she had is already spent

Cause a couple of weeks ago she learned her lesson

Went and brought herself a little Smith and Wesson



Love and a .45 

Are all you need to get through the night

One'll kill you one'll keep you alive 

Love and a .45



At 3:15 he got a call, somebody heard a scream behind a wall

At a little motel down by the bay          

But before he got there, they got away



Well she was all right just a little roughed up         

So he took her down to the coffee shop

The report he filed said  victim unknown

Now she waits up nights for him to come home



Love and a .45 

Are all you need to get through the night

One'll kill you one'll keep you alive 

Love and a .45



Love and a .45 

Are all you need to get thru the night

One'll kill you one'll keep you alive 

Love and a .45
