I did it, I killed Joe. He hit me for the last time tonight. He had started a few months ago but today I couldn't take it anymore. He hit me this morning because I didn't get ready fast enough and then tonight because I was seen with Ranger today. I was sick of him hitting me and lost it. He'll never hit me again.
There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin on the floor
She's not sure that he;s breathin anymore
Now she's sittin on the corner of her bed in her room
Siren's blarin they'll be there soon
I put my head in my hands and began to cry. I never like guns and I hated shooting people but today I lost it. I couldn't take it anymore and I shot him. I tried telling the cops what happened but was talking so fast they couldn't understand me. I told them he hit me that morning and again that night and there was a flashing light.
Now she's cryin with her head in her hands
Talkin so fast that they don't understand
Said he hit her that mornin, he hit her that night
All she remembers was a flashin light
Never again, he'll never hit me again. I made sure of it. I couldn't let him continue to hit me and no matter what I did he still hit me. I tried to do what he wanted all but quitting my job.
But he's never gonna hit her again, he's never gonna hit her again
You can be real sure of one thing friend, he'll never hit her again
He hit me with a right cross to the nose, he crossed the line this time. I looked and I was covered in blood. It was in my hair on my clothes and dripping from my nose. The shotgun was in the corner of the bedroom and the shells were in the night stand. I found the shells to load the gun and take him straight to hell. There were tears in my eyes and I know they turned black with anger. I didn't know a twelve gauge could kick like that. I'll probably have a bruise.
Well he caught her with a quick right cross
Didn't know the line he crossed
Now there's blood in her hair and blood on her clothes
Blood still runnin from her nose
Well she went and found a box of shells
Gonna take him straight to hell
There were tears on her face when her eyes turned black
Didn't know a twelve gauge could kick like that
He'll never lay his hands on me or any other woman ever again. I have peace with that knowledge.
But he's never gonna hit her again, he's never gonna hit her again
You can be real sure of one thing friend, he'll never hit her again
Eddie loaded me in the cop car to take me downtown, all of the neighbors were standing around watching as they loaded me in the car and wheeled Joe out in a body bag. I put my head back in my hands and cried again trying to tell them what happened. He hit me in the morning and again at night and then I remembered a flashing light.
There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin on the floor
She's not sure that he's breathin anymore
Well they put her in the cop car, took her downtown
All of the neighbors standin around
And now she's cryin with her head in her hands
And talkin so fast that they don't understand
Said he hit her that mornin, he hit her that night
All she remembered was a flashin light
Ranger, the Merry Men, and the Rangeman attorney followed us to the police station. I answered questions for hours and they took pictures of the blood on me and the bruises from where he hit me. He broke my jaw and my nose plus the black eye he gave me. He's never going to hit me again. I made sure of that.
But he's never gonna hit her again, he's never gonna hit her again
You can be real sure of one thing friend, he'll never hit her again
They released me because they said it was self defense. Which it was, the D.A. didn't want to touch the case. No one came to my rescue so I rescued myself. He's never gonna hit me again.
But he's never gonna hit her again, he's never gonna hit her again
You can be real sure of one thing friend, he'll never hit her again
The End
