Story Behind The Song

Out of nowhere, the line "I'm just a lovin' son of a gun" came to me along with "Let's get some lovin' done". I put it together with other lyrics and the rest is history.

Song Description

"Lovin' Son of a Gun" is a playful, feel-good country rocker about a rough-around-the-edges man with a heart of pure gold. Blending humor, grit, and old-school charm, the song celebrates a guy who may be worn down by life but still burns with love, fire, and unstoppable spirit. It's upbeat, flirtatious, and full of personality -- a toe-tapping tribute to the kind of man who loves hard, laughs loud, and never quits on the one he loves.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some might say I've had it,
My body may say I'm done.
But my heart keeps cryin' out for you,
cuz I'm a lovin' son of a gun.
My woman sometimes scolds me,
says I'm soft as a hamburger bun.
she wants me to be her strong He-man
But I'm just a lovin' son of a gun.

[Chorus]
I ain't done, I ain't through,
got a whole lotta love for you.
I'm a lovin' son of a gun--
Watch what I can do.
Fire in my soul,
Good heart second to none.
The night's still waitin', baby...
Let's get some lovin' done.

[Verse 3]
I've lived hard but laughed a lot,
got scars upon my soul.
but my heart's still burnin and the waitin's done.
Cuz I'm a lovin' son of a gun.

[Chorus]
I ain't done, I ain't through,
got a whole lotta love for you.
I'm a lovin' son of a gun--
Watch what I can do.
Fire-in-my-soul,
A good heart second to none.
The night's still waitin', baby...
Let's get some lovin' done.

[Bridge]
Some say I'm a dinosaur,
I hear that trash a lot.
But look into my eyes, babe--
"Ya know love is what I got."
I'm rough and tumble in the day,
But sweet as sugar at night.
I can dance until the sun comes up,
And baby I'll treat you right.

[Verse 4]
I've got the bones of my mother,
And the smile of my daddy too.
Babe, I'm not like no other,
And it shows when I'm with you.

[Final Chorus]
I ain't done, I ain't through,
got a whole lotta love for you.
I'm a lovin' son of a gun--
Watch what I can do.
Fire in my soul,
Good heart second to none.
The night's still waitin', baby...
Let's get some lovin' done.

[End]
