They all say I dodged a bullet
But I know that ain't true
Yeah I got hit by that bullet
And it went straight on through
And this hole that he's left me
It ain't ever gonna close
Till that son of a bitch takes a hit
And he feels how it goes yeah
I dodged a bullet (I dodged a bullet)
I dodged a bullet (oh I dodged a bullet)
And I dodged a bullet (I dodged a bullet)
Till that son of a bitch takes a hit
And he feels how it goes
Well he saw me bleeding out and so he
Stopped by for a while
Thought he'd come to patch me up
But then he flashed his pretty smile
Held his hand hind his back
As he stared into my soul
Said I love you darling then he
Pulled the trigger once more
Did I dodge a bullet (I dodged a bullet)
Did I dodge a bullet (I dodged a bullet)
And I dodged a bullet (I dodged a bullet)
Till that son of a bitch takes a hit
And he feels how it goes
Well he finally caught that bullet
No it did not pass him by
It went straight on through right up there
Square between his eyes
And this hole that's it's left him
It ain't ever gonna close
'Cause that son of a bitch earned the hit
And he felt how it goes yeah
I dodged a bullet (I dodged a bullet)
And I dodged a bullet (oh I dodged a bullet)
'Cause that hole that he left me
Oh it ripped me straight on through
And it ain't ever gonna close until I
Get right over you and
I thought you'd pull me up but you pulled the trigger
Shot me while I'm down guess mama raised a quitter
See my bleeding heart he's such a lady killer
But I dodged a bullet
I dodged a bullet (I dodged a bullet)
Well that son of a bitch took the hit
And he dug his grave and lied in it
And I won't forgive him or forget
And he felt how it goes
They all saw me take that bullet
But oh never did I die
And you'll never see me cry no
My tears all have run dry
And that hole that he left me
Well it finally did on close
'Cause that son of a bitch
Took the hit and he felt
How it goes
