Cowboy Junkies - The Girl Behind The Man Behind The Gun lyrics

No guarantee of happy endings I like my stories cut to the bone A mother of three is awakening She's the girl behind the man behind the gun Apples and toast for the children The hard push to get out the door Arrive just in time for the anthem She's the girl behind the man behind the gun A quick stop at Jen's for the gossip She checks in at work for her sched There's a rumor going round about a failed op She's the girl behind the man behind the gun Back home to something missing She tries not to think of him now Nothing to jinx his returning She's the girl behind the man behind the gun A shiny black car in the driveway Two men in dress at the door Ignore them and go on pretending That I'm the girl behind the man behind the gun I'm the girl behind the man behind the gun I'm the girl behind the man behind the gun No guarantee of happy endings
