Gunpowder and lead....

I have had this cd for awhile now and just did not listen to it much because I was too hung up on her other cd. Well I pulled it out and listened to it while I was cleaning my house. That is usually when I branch out and listen to a whole album. Well I was surprised and found alot of songs I really like.
One of the best ones is Gunpowder and lead. It has to do with abuse and the anger that comes with it. Now I can relate on several levels to this song. My mom was abused by my biological father when I was young..so I got to see that first hand and seeing something like that tends to make you hard and mad from a young age. Then I had my round with someone who thought being a (Real Man) included slapping me around. Well the hit happened once....then being shook like a rag doll..like the song says..came about a few times.... That left a mark that would never go away...Sorry was said.. but it always stayed in the back of my mind and in my heart. I can provoke someones temper..that is my personality..but hitting is not the answer to anything. Sad to say... but I can give as good as I get and I have been on the giving end before. Not my proudest moment. I DO NOT trust my TEMPER. Its kinda like blacking out and not knowing exactly what I have done....until its over. Then its like OH SHIT! That is why god blessed me and everyone around me with not having PMS anymore! So here is the song. This was the best video I could find. Its just her and a guitar..but this shows how good she really is. I will post the lyrics below..Thanks

"Gunpowder & Lead"

County road 233, under my feet
Nothin' on this white rock but little ole me
I've got two miles till, he makes bail
And if I'm right we're headed straight for hell

[Chorus:]

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead

It's half past ten, another six pack in
And I can feel the rumble like a cold black wind
He pulls in the drive, the gravel flies
He dont know what's waiting here this time

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead

His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead
