Well, i'm gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

I'm a running for the cat, i'll find him in some town

Well, there ain't no place that he can hide

I wear my pistol by my side

I'm gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

Ridin' to my sugar's house this morning

I had to stop for something in my way

I saw a big crowd gathered 'round

My baby lying on the ground

Somebody saw a black car get away

Well, i'm a gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

I'm a running for the cat, i'll find him in some town

Well, there ain't no place that he can hide

I wear my my pistol by my side

I'm gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

(you better run boy!)

Maybe i won't ever get the killer

But there ain't nobody gonna stop me trying

Maybe i'll end up a wreck

Maybe i'll just break his neck

I ain't gonna stop to listen to his lies

Well, i'm a gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

I'm a running for the cat, i'll find him in some town

Well, there ain't no place that he can hide

So, i wear my pistol by my side

I'm gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

I'm a gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

Yeah, i'm a gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

I'm a gunning for the dog that ran my baby down

I'm a gunning for the dog that ran my baby down
