Love Song
Bridgette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolled and the lightnin' bolts
Come crashin' to the ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone
As he walks into the room,
With another man who was feelin' the same way
All hell's breakin' loose
Bang bang, shoot'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown, in a no-man's land
For the cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown, don't be hangin' 'round,
'Cause the cowboy will blow you away
Al Capone and A Bad Boy Jones
On the wrong side of the law
Johnny D and his company,
Always first to the draw
Gangster lean, feelin' so mean,
Tryin' to take more than their share
'Cause all they saw was ruling it all
The seed of blood was in the air
Bang bang, shoot'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown, in a no-man's land
For a cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown, don't be hangin' 'round,
'Cause the cowboy will blow you away
Here we are and we've come this far,
But it's only getting worse
The foreign lands with their terrorist demands,
Only 'cause the good to hurt
The USA the USSR, with their six guns to their sides
I see the message written on the wall,
Too much anger deep inside
Bang bang, shoot'em up
Bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown, in a no-man's land
For the cowboy of the modern day
Come on, sundown, don't be hangin' 'round,
'Cause the cowboy will blow you away
It's a showdown
, a battle between two opposing sides, with a cowboy figure as the main focal point. The stormy night and the jet black skies set the mood for the showdown, adding to the tension and anger that is already present.

However, all hell breaks loose as they come face to face with the opposing side, resulting in gunshots and death.
The lyrics go on to describe other violent scenarios, ranging from gangsters fighting to foreign lands with terrorist demands. The message is clear - too much anger and hatred exist in the world, leading to senseless violence and death.

This is a simple love song to his dog. What a brilliant idea? It makes me appreciate how David Freel (RIP) was great at turning ordinary things into true art.
