Gunpowder and Lead

Yes it is a country song. I mostly listen to country music, although I do like some rock stuff. My hubby likes rock so I hear what he plays. You can look the lyrics up to see what you think.

I think it's got some pretty powerful lyrics. Plus, when I hear the title, "Gunpowder and Lead," it tells me it's probably about a serious topic. The title itself is a real attention-getter. I read the lyrics and watched the video on YouTube. I like the song. I have not heard of Miranda Lambert, but that's not surprising because I usually don't listen to country music. My husband watches the videos on TV occasionally, so I'll hear some country songs from that. Having powerful lyrics like that can really cause people to get riled up. But it's an important statement about domestic violence, that's for sure.

So what did you think of the song?

I know what you mean. I've never been in an abusive relationship but my Mom was and I'd have loved to do something really bad to the guy. The CD this song is on is pretty good.

Yep. If there's any way possible out of the situation, I hope all women get out. I know it's not as easy as we think sometimes though.

I agree as well... this song is always playing super loud when I hear it! While I would never shoot someone either, I think it's a great message for women in abusive relationships to stand up for themselves and get out of harms way as soon as they can. Great song!

It's a catchy tune. If you like country music you will probably like it. It's definitely a country song..lol.

I agree. I don't know that they have to go so far as to kill the guy, but they should definitely get out of the relationship.
