Daddy's Got A Bullet In His Head

from Sad Songs For SEXY People by Justin H.K.

/

lyrics

Johnny liked to shoot his six gun
Till he shot his daddy dead
Now he's rotting in a jail cell
And daddy's got a bullet in his head

You see his father was a drinker
And he liked to use his hands
Wasn't much of a father
But he thought himself a man

So his father passed down
All that hatred he held dear
A gift to pass from father to son
As he boxed in his ears

Johnny liked to shoot his six gun
Till he shot his daddy dead
Now he's rotting in a jail cell
And daddy's got a bullet in his head

So like his dad he got to drinking
And in the bottle tasted truth
The only way to make a man
Is to beat out the youth

So when Johnny finally met somebody
And she popped out a kid
It took eighteen long damn years but
This is what little Johnny did

Johnny liked to shoot his six gun
Till he shot his daddy dead
Now he's rotting in a jail cell
And daddy's got a bullet in his head
