about

This song is about not upsetting your Mother, Father (or someone else) and being scared of their reactions. Almost like their moods are explosive.

lyrics

Momma’s got a gun
She got you on the run
She'll take you right down low
She'll never let you go
Momma’s got a gun
But she won't tell no
But she won't tell no one
She won't tell no one

Daddy's after you
He don't love no fool
He got you in his sights
He gonna take your life
Daddy's after you
And you know that it's
After you
And you know that it's true

If you gonna run
You’d better keep running
If you gonna hide
You'd better hide good
Want salvation
Better keep praying
Cause they're coming for you baby
Like you they knew they would
Like you they knew they would
Like you they knew they would

Billy’s had a fright
And it don’t feel right
He’s out in the cold
Out on his own
Billy had a fright and he can’t sleep at
Had a fright and he can’t sleep at night
He don’t sleep at night

If you gonna run
You’d better keep on running
If you gonna hide
You'd better hide good
Want salvation
Better keep praying
Cause they're coming for you baby

If you gonna run
Better keep on running
If you gonna hide

You'd better hide good
Want salvation
Better keep praying
Cause they're coming for you baby

If you gonna run
Better keep on running
If you gonna hide
You'd better hide good
Want salvation
Better keep praying
Cause they're coming for you baby
Like you they knew they would
Like you they knew they would
Like you they knew they would

Momma’s got a gun
She got you on the run
She'll take you down low
She’ll take your soul
She's got a madness in her eyes
Won’t take no prisoners or no alibis

Everything she says is true
When she finally hits on you
Then you know that you're on your own
And you’ll soon be long, long gone
You soon be gone

If you gonna run
You’d better keep on running
If you gonna hide
You'd better hide good
Want salvation
Better keep praying
Cause they're coming for you baby

If you gonna run
Better keep on running
If you gonna hide
You'd better hide good
Want salvation
Better keep praying
Cause they're coming for you baby
Like you they knew they would
Like you they knew they would
Like you they knew they would

Like you they knew they would
