Pistol Lyrics
I love how you curse when I wake you up
And sweetly demand that I fill your cup.
I follow your cool gun powder glare
Honey, you lay me bare.
You're the girl of my dreams
And a pistol it seems, but you shoot me straight and true
Time to lay down my bets,
Oh, I put all my money on you.
When I'm in the dark, girl, you bring me to light.
It seems like you're almost always right.
So keep boxing my ears when I sew them shut.
Baby, you sure are tough.
You're the girl of my dreams
And a pistol it seems, but you shoot me straight and true
Time to lay down my fears,
Honey, I feel so safe around you.
If the tiller man taught me anything,
It's that a hard-headed woman is what I need
To help me to always do my best.
Baby, my life is blessed.
You're the girl of my dreams
Darling, please wear this ring
You're an angel through and through.
Time to lay down my life,
Honey, I'd do it gladly for you.
Time to lay down my life,
Honey, I'd do it gladly for you.
And sweetly demand that I fill your cup.
I follow your cool gun powder glare
Honey, you lay me bare.
And a pistol it seems, but you shoot me straight and true
Time to lay down my bets,
Oh, I put all my money on you.
It seems like you're almost always right.
So keep boxing my ears when I sew them shut.
Baby, you sure are tough.
And a pistol it seems, but you shoot me straight and true
Time to lay down my fears,
Honey, I feel so safe around you.
It's that a hard-headed woman is what I need
To help me to always do my best.
Baby, my life is blessed.
Darling, please wear this ring
You're an angel through and through.
Time to lay down my life,
Honey, I'd do it gladly for you.
Honey, I'd do it gladly for you.

dustin kensrue is this generation's bob dylan. if not better.
i absolutely fell in love with this song the first time i heard it. its just exactly about the relationship with my boyfriend its almost scary.. the song just makes me think about his little quirks that drive me crazy, but i secretly love. cuz when you love somebody you love EVERYTHiNG about them, and you would do ANYTHiNG for them..and i would for my bf..i would give my life for him in a heartbeat, i love him that much. ...but the song is absolutely amazing, props to dustin...he is quite the genius
I love this song. It reminds me of Ryan Adams at times.
this is one of those songs that you can get married to. haha
Deff like ryan adams. When I first heard his music I thought of Ryan Adams. The harmonica makes me think of Come Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams. I love how Dustin's voice is so raw..
its like a song you can play to your gf when your gonna get married..cuz liike..DARLING PLEASE WEAR THIS RING..your an angel through and through..time to LAY DOWN MY LIFE..honey id do it gladly for you..
this songs about a guitar.. just kidding.
Sooo I saw an interview with Dustin on Stevens Untitled Rock Show and i fell in love with this song. Its great. And its really simple to play on guitar for all you guitarists out there!
Great song, great album.
"If the tiller man taught me anything, It's that a hard-headed woman is what I need"
Interesting. I'm sure I'm not the first one to notice this but there is a great album by Cat Stevens, called 'Tea for the Tillerman', which is mostly about a spiritual man trying to find meaning/happiness in life, and it contains the song "hard headed woman".
Dustin can write some amazing lyrics, and I can't wait for the new Thrice album to drop.
"I love how you curse when I wake you up And sweetly demand that I fill your cup. With the smile of your cool gun powder glare Honey, you lay me bare."
I believe that's what he says.
