Son of a Gun - Lord Huron

Oh there was a time when she’d lie in the grass

And imagine the places she’d never go

And there all alone she would pleasure herself

With the thoughts of a man she would never know

Lying there, she made a promise that one day she’d run

And she’d find just the man she was looking for

Well, she fell in love with that son of a gun

But he was not the man that she took him for

When he came to town he came rambling in

On a great cloud of dust carried by the wind

Oh, it wasn’t long before he pulled her in

And he asked her to come run away with him

He saw a pretty young girl who was ready to run

And she saw just the chance she’d been looking for

Well, she fell in love with that son of gun

But he was not the man that she took him for

They headed out west driving into the sun

And he promised her she was the only one

Well, he was a thief and he’d steal just for fun

He’d go cruising around with his little gun

He ran afoul of the law and decided to run

And he left her alone with their little one

Well, she was in love with that son of a gun

And the story between them it wasn’t done

When she finds him she will make him regret he was ever born
