Well he ran around
Late at night
Holding hands
Making light
Of everything that came before
But there she was behind the door

She hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same

There's nothing worse
In this world
Than pay-back from a
A jealous girl
The laws of man, they don't apply
When blood gets in a woman's eye

Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Oh she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same, same

Stars did fall
Thunder rolled
Bugs crawled back
In their holes
The couple screamed, but it was far too late
Her jealous heart did retaliate

She hit them with her ten cent pistol
Because they ruined her name
Well she hit them with her ten cent pistol
And they've never been the same
Oh the same
All the same
Never been the same

    My Interpretation

    I love this song because I definitely found out about my ex partner's cheap married skank. My "ten cent pistol" was spilling the beans to her husband's mother (mother-in-law) about the affair. And it only came down to this because they live in another state otherwise there would've been more damage...

    It's true:

    "The laws of man, they don't apply When blood gets in a woman's eye"

    suckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
