Lyrics
Gun in My Hand By Kelly Pettit and Greg Arnold
I was on the sly
Living in a new world
When they came around
They tore me down
I was not myself
Deep inside I cried for help
All around me chaos
All around my madness
CHORUS
When they caught me
I was just some stranger in a strange land
Like a deer in the headlights
With this gun in my hand
Deep remorse and sorrow
Now I'm the latest fashion lights
All around me cameras, blood
And unrecalled nights
Well, I started out a family man
Surrounded by wrong turns and scams
Armor made of plastic
Stepped into the traffic
When they caught me
I was just some stranger in my own land
Like a deer in the headlights
With this gun in my hand
Won't you take me now
Lead me to your water
I look in my own eyes
I got no idea what I fought for
