Dum-dum-dum, honey, what have you done?
Dum-dum-dum, it's the sound of my gun
Dum-dum-dum, honey, what have you done?
Dum-dum-dum, it's the sound
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
Whole world's come undone
From looking straight at the Sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They said when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But, man, he had it coming
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightning and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain
Run away
Run away from the pain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away
Run away from the pain, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last IOU
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said: 'Cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleaze
He ain't never gonna be the same
Run away
Run away from the pain, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Now everybody is on the run
Janie got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run (honey, honey, what's the problem?)
'Cause Janie got a gun (tell me it ain't right)
Janie got a gun (was it daddy's cradle robbing that)
Her dog day's just begun (made you scream at night?)
Now everybody is on the run
Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
