Oh no, now honey what have you done?
Oh no, no, it's the sound of my gun
Oh no, now honey what have you done?
Oh no no, that's the sound (that's the sound)
Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
Whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath the train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
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 rain
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie got a gun
Janie's got a gun
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 sleaze
He ain't never gonna be the same
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run
Janie got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run (Honey, honey, what's the problem?)
Because Janie's got a gun (Tell me it ain't right)
Janie's got a gun (Was it daddy's cradle robbin' that)
Her dog day's just begun (Made you scream at night?)
Now everybody is on the run
Janie got a gun
Janie got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run (Honey, honey, what's the problem?)
Because Janie's on the run (Tell me it ain't right)
