There's a 12 -gauge shotgun
lying on the floor
She's not sure that he's
breathing anymore
Now she's sitting on the corner
of the bed in her room
Sirens blaring,
they'll be there soon
Now she's crying with her
head in her hands
Talking so fast that they
don't understand
Said he hit her that morning,
he hit her that night
And all she remembers was a
flashing light
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 ever hit her
again
Well, he caught her with a quick right cross
He 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 12 -gauge had
kicked like 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 ever hit her again
There's a 12 -gauge shotgun
lying on the floor
She's not sure that he's
breathing anymore
Well, they put her in the cop car,
took her downtown
All of the neighbors standing around
And now she's crying with her
head in her hands
And talking so fast that they
don't understand
Said he hit her in the morning,
he hit her that night
Well, all she remembers was a flashing light
But he's never gonna hit her again
He's never gonna hit her again
You can be real sure of one thing,
Fred
He'll never, ever hit her again
No, he's never gonna hit her again
He'll never, ever hit her again
You can be real sure of one thing,
Fred
He'll never, ever hit her again
