lyrics

Tonight is the night I get to use this gun
Tonight is the night the bastard’s gonna pay
I’ll be miles away next time I see the sun
But that sum-bitch won’t see another day
Tonight is the night he’s gonna pay

I really like the feel of this gun in my hand
With a full clip the weight is just right
I’ve spent the last twelve nights hangin’ out on this guy’s land
Now I know his habits and tonight’s the night
I’ve watched from every angle and I know just what he’ll do
He’ll brush his teeth and then walk down this hall
I’ll be outside his window, and he won’t have a clue
‘Til the glass breaks he won’t know I’m there at all

Tonight is the night I get to use this gun
Tonight is the night the bastard’s gonna pay
I’ll be miles away next time I see the sun
But that sum-bitch won’t see another day
Tonight is the night he’s gonna pay

He didn’t have to kill her, he’d already had his way
He coulda zipped his pants and walked away
He stomped her head and sent her to her grave
And left her in the ditch where she lay
I didn’t recognize her, when they pulled back the sheet
But I know that body oh so well
The cops made a mistake that put him on the street
But I intend to send him straight to hell

Tonight is the night I get to use this gun
Tonight is the night the bastard’s gonna pay
I’ll be miles away next time I see the sun
But that sum-bitch won’t see another day
I’m gonna put him six feet down to stay
I’ll shoot the schmuck without a s’il vous plait
This forty-five will blow his brains away
Tonight is the night he’s gonna pay
