Gun for You
Black River Delta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

I've been a gambling man
I've been a gambling man
They ship me of to another land
With a gun in my hand

Now I'm a fighting man
Now I'm a fighting man
I roam the streets in another land
With a gun in my hand

I gun for you
I gun for you
I gun for you
You know I gun for you
Oh, I gun for you

I traveled home to see your face
I traveled home just to see your face
Ain't nothing left of them good old days
Another man went taking my place, oh no

With bullets and barrels
You know I gun for you
With bullets and barrels
You know I gun for you
With bullets and barrels
You know I gun for you

With bullets and barrels
You know i gun for you
I gun for you
I gun for you
I gun for you
You know what I gun for

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black River Delta's "Gun for You" tell a story of a man who has lived a life of gambling and risk-taking, ultimately leading to him being sent to fight in a foreign land with a gun in his hand. The lyrics suggest that the man has now become a "fighting man" and he roams the streets in this new land with his gun at his side. However, the focus of the song is the woman he loves and who he is willing to use that gun for. The man has traveled home to see her face, hoping to relive the good old days, but to his dismay, he finds another man has taken his place. The lyrics reveal his disappointment and the reality of the situation: "Ain't nothing left of them good old days, Another man went taking my place, oh no."


The chorus repeats the line "I gun for you" four times, emphasizing his determination and loyalty to her. The gun, which is mentioned throughout the song, represents not only the man's ability to fight but also the danger and the potential for violence that comes with it. Nonetheless, he is willing to use it for the woman he loves. The repetition of the line "With bullets and barrels" underscores the violent nature of the situation and reinforces the idea of just how much the man is willing to risk for her.


Overall, "Gun for You" is a poignant and powerful song filled with emotions of regret, love, and loyalty. The lyrics evoke vivid images of a man willing to give up his life for his love and make the listener feel the depth of his sorrow.
