"I was eating some chop suey with a lady in St. Looie When I suddenly heard a knocking at the door. And the knocker he said "Honey" Roll the Rocker out some money Or your Daddy shoots a baddy to the floor."

"I was eating some chop suey with a lady in St. Looie
When I suddenly heard a knocking at the door.
And the knocker he said "Honey"
Roll the Rocker out some money
Or your Daddy shoots a baddy to the floor."
One of the things I keep noticing about myself is how much more tolerant of heavy makeup on women I am now than I used to be.
Ah, to be young again. Girls can get away with heavy make-up.
I love this song. The first time I heard it on the radio, I thought it was Adele.
DB, what's that from? Never heard it.
Early morning, April 4. Shot rings out in the Memphis sky. Free at last, they took your life but they could not take your pride.
(Not sure if I'm getting the gist of the question asked in the original post)
What's that from, EMD?
I meant actual firearm mentioned, like, 'he went for his gun, and I pulled mine first.'

For, oh noooh! She didn't knooow the gun was loaded!
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
The entire Desperado album by the Eagles is about guns and
Certain kind of fool
And of course
Frankie reached down in her pocketbook
and up with a long forty-four
she shot once, twice, three times and
Johnny fell to the hard wood floor
"My .44 make sure all y'all kids don't grow."

Bang bang.

Bang bang.

buckley I was just going to give myself a half point:
You were five and I was six
We played of pistols made from sticks
You gotta hear this song if you haven't yet. Gets me in the heart evertime I hear it.
First time was on the radio while I was driving. Pulled the car over, the dj said they were in town that night. I made it there for sure.
