Lyrics
You Oughta Run ©Luigi Cappel 2007 1. Cm7 Dm7 One hand’s got a bourbon and Cm7 Dm7 The other’s got a gun Cm7 Dm7 I’m looking for some trouble Cm7 Dm7 Somebody’s time has come Fm7 G If it’s you that’s lying in my bed Cm7 Dm7 You oughta run It may be a stranger It may be someone I know Right now I don’t give a damn Either way I’m gonna blow Your head right out the door, your consequence has come You oughta run Chorus G# I was working on the road G Trying to get ahead Cm Cm7 When I got a text message Cm6 Fm6(add9) Said another man’s in your bed Cm7 Dm7 You oughta run 12 bars break after each chorus 2. I bought you loads of perfume And a nice new GM car I paid for all the clothes you wear You were my shining star But my last gift for you is made of lead You oughta run Been four hours on the road I’m nearly at my home I am the grim reaper Harvesting the seeds you’ve sewn I’m mad and drunk and tired and alone You oughta run Chorus 3. I’ve pulled into the driveway And the house is looking dark I spin the pistol barrel Put the gearshift into park My journeys almost over, nearly done You oughta run I’m walking down the hallway Having let the front door slam Bet the last thing you expected Was a visit from your old man Your two-timing days are almost done You oughta run Chorus 4. As I walk into the bedroom The room fills up with light I see two heads on the pillow Pull the trigger hard and tight The hammer hits 5 times and you’re both dead You shoulda run With shaking hands I grab the phone And dial 911 Don’t hurry but there’s two folks dead And another one to come Hold the gun up to my temple, Bang! I’m done You shoulda run Chorus
