lyrics

Jumpin’ the gun
Music: John the Revelator
Lyrics: Tom Huissen

Took out the hit
He started to move
Some kind of trick
He laid his hands on a 302

I need to talk to you
No, no, no come on
Well you’d better lay low
Junior jumped the gun real slow

You got my word
Let’s do it right
Keep your eye on the ball
Give it to my face, come on

You’ve been so good to me
Don’t you trust anyone
Junior really jumped the gun

Well it’s safe
To assume
Don’t spill your guts
You may have run out
Your string in New Jersey too

Inside I know it hurts
Well you’d better lay low
Junior jumped the gun real slow

Well wait a minute (baby)
That kind of talk
That’s what he dreaded and feared
A lot on her plate come on

At home she’d toss you out
Don’t you trust anyone
Junior really jumped the gun
