Lyrics

It?s cloudin? up
Warm air
A storm was coming; I was getting scared

His truck pulled up
Whiskey in the air
Walking right towards me with a mean, cold stare

Mi Corazon; it was
Beatin? fast
My body bruised proof of times from the past

?Hey bitch!?
?Get over here!?
He was waling right towards me and getting near

I started thinkin?
Going through my head
But the closer he got, the closer I was dead

(CHORUS)
Thunder from the gun
The Rain was falling red
Lightning filled the sky
It showed what I couldn?t have said
Thunder from the gun
Death came from my hand
Lightning filled the sky
And showed I?d never be hurt again

(Verse 2)
My daddy said, ?Girl?
?You take no shit!?
?Ain?t no man worth you ever getting? hit?

He?s beaten me
To a pulp
But my finger can pull the trigger on a Colt

It?s happened once
More than twice
If he strikes me again I ain?t gonna be nice.

The moment?s come
Judgment Day
He walked right up to me, planning to stay.

Screamed ugly words
It happened fast
As he raised up his fist like in the past

(Verse 3)
That was it!
I?d had enough!
Little did he know I was about to be real tough

Reached in my boot
Found daddy?s colt
Surprised the hell out of him; I started feelin? cold.

He didn?t budge
I thought he?s run
No, not that sick bastards, he?s probably having fun

He laughed at me
Spit in my face
I pulled the hammer, pressed the trigger, like it was a race

Thunder roared!
Hole in his head!
He won?t hurt another soul now that he?s dead
