Honey what have you done?
It's the sound of my gun
Honey what have you done?
It's the sound

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun

What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?

They said when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run

Tell me now it's untrue.
What did her daddy do?

He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightning and the thunder knew that
Someone had to stop the pain

Run away
Run away from the pain
Run away
Run away from the pain
Run away, run away
Run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run

What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last I.O.U.

She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said "'cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleeze"
He ain't never gonna be the same.

Run away
Run away from the pain
Run away
Run away from the pain
Run away, run away
Run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Because Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun
