She walks alone, as city lights grow dim
Her heart beats steady, shadows closing in
A woman's strength, her grip so firm and tight
Prepared for the worst, she steps through the night
In her home, if danger finds its way
She guards her ground, come night or break of day
A shotgun stands behind her closet door
A Glock beneath her pillow, she fears no more
Trouble, stay away, don't darken my door
I want peace, but I've prepared for war
This world's got teeth, but I'm armed now, you see
So, trouble, stay away from me
A concealed carry license kept with care
A right to fight, should someone go there
She's thirty strong, a hard-edged city girl
If challenged, her strength will surely unfurl
Trouble, stay away, don't darken my door
I want peace, but I've prepared for war
This world's got teeth, but I'm armed now, you see
So, trouble, stay away from me
A concealed carry license kept with care
A right to fight, should someone go there
She's thirty strong, a hard-edged city girl
If challenged, her strength will surely unfurl
Trouble, stay away, don't darken my door
I want peace, but I've prepared for war
This world's got teeth, but I'm armed now, you see
So, trouble, stay away from me
The gangs wait, the alleyways grow mean
Her spirit fierce, she stands against the scene
She's not afraid to walk the street alone
Running the gauntlet from work to home
Trouble, stay away, don't darken my door
I want peace, but I've prepared for war
This world's got teeth, but I'm armed now, you see
So, trouble, stay away from me
Her home's a fortress built with love and pain
To break into it would be insane
A single prayer whispered in the dark
To shoot straight and never miss her mark
Trouble, stay away, don't darken my door
I want peace, but I've prepared for war
This world's got teeth, but I'm armed now, you see
So, trouble, stay away from me
