Lyrics

Gone with the Wind
© Michael Hanson Cantwell 3/23/23

Verse:
He came home late, smelling of whiskey and smoke
I tried to kid with him, but he wouldn't take a joke
His temper flared up, and he called me names
And then he did the unthinkable, and he hit me in the face

Chorus:
I grabbed my gun, and headed to the door
Shot out his tires, as he hid on the floor
He was stupid and drunk, when he hit me
Now he's the weak one, down on his knees
I won't be his sweet little pawn, this girl's gone
Gone with the wind
Got my gun, got my phone, I'm gone
Gone with the wind

Verse:
He never thought I had it in me to fight back
But I won't be a victim of his endless attacks
He thought he could take control, and keep me in line
But I'm a woman who's had enough this time

Chorus:
I grabbed my gun, and headed to the door
Shot out his tires, as he hid on the floor
He was stupid and drunk, when he hit me
Now he's the weak one, down on his knees
I won't be his sweet little pawn, this girl's gone
Gone with the wind
Got my gun, got my phone, I'm gone
Gone with the wind

Bridge:
It's not about revenge, it's about self-defense
I won't let him hurt me, and keep me feeling tense
I know the law, and I know my rights
I'll protect myself, I'm ready to fight, fight, fight!

Chorus:
I grabbed my gun, and headed to the door
Shot out his tires, as he hid on the floor
He was stupid and drunk, when he hit me
Now he's the weak one, down on his knees
I won't be his sweet little pawn, this girl's gone
Gone with the wind
Got my gun, got my phone, I'm gone
Gone with the wind

Verse:
He always thought he could control me, make me feel small
When he gets drinking, he wants to brawl
And he wants to take my power, and make me feel weak
But he's about to find out, that I'm not that damn meek

Chorus:
I grabbed my gun, and headed to the door
Shot out his tires, as he hid on the floor
He was stupid and drunk, when he hit me
Now he's the weak one, down on his knees
I won't be his sweet little pawn, this girl's gone
Gone with the wind
Got my gun, got my phone, I'm gone
Gone with the wind

Outro:
Now I'm living on my own and I'm finally free
No more punches, or living in misery
I can live my life, the way I see fit
I won't put up with any more of his bullshit.

Pre-chorus: I will always remember how

Chorus:
I grabbed my gun, and headed to the door
Shot out his tires, as he hid on the floor
He was stupid and drunk, when he hit me
Now he's the weak one, down on his knees
I won't be his sweet little pawn, this girl's gone
Gone with the wind
Got my gun, got my phone, I'm gone
Gone with the wind

Chorus:
I grabbed my gun, and headed to the door
Shot out his tires, as he hid on the floor
He was stupid and drunk, when he hit me
Now he's the weak one, down on his knees
I won't be his sweet little pawn, this girl's gone
Gone with the wind
Got my gun, got my phone, I'm gone
Gone with the wind
Now he's the weak one, down on his knees
I won't be his sweet little pawn, this girl's gone
Gone with the wind
Got my gun, got my phone, I'm gone
Gone with the wind
