Inside
Love and Bullets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's got a Zig Zag, I got the Chong
Cover band plain' Lyle Lovett
And you and me the only one's singing along
Body like smoke sun-kissed heaven
Jesus fish there on your wrist
Drop a penny in my seven and seven
You say a prayer and I'll make a wish
I'd love to get you out of this bar
Right into the seat of my car
Girl, we don't have to look that hard
To find a little moonlight, baby it's alright
No it don't matter where we go
Just as long as I can hold you close
Kiss Your lips get you thinkin' about
Maybe turning them blue jeans inside out
I can tell I got you thinking
Leaning in and ready to roll
Let's put these city lights in the rear view
Give me the green light smile and let's go
I'd love to get you out of this bar
Right into the seat of my car
Girl, we don't have to look that hard
To find a little moonlight, baby it's alright
No it don't matter where we go
Just as long as I can hold you close
Kiss your lips thinkin' about
Maybe turning them blue jeans inside out
I can't wait to get you out of this bar
Right into the seat of my car
I'd love to get you out of this bar
Right into the seat of my car
Girl, we don't have to look that hard
To find a little moonlight, baby it's alright
No it don't matter where we go
Just as long as I can hold you close
Kiss your lips thinkin' about
Maybe turning them blue jeans inside out
Yeah
Maybe turning them blue jeans inside out

I had not seen this before, great to be able to watch this! Very good old ‘70’s cast, Rod Steiger and Strother Martin as well as Jill Ireland. Charles Bronson practically a National treasure and this is the only movie I’ve seen where he plays a character named Charlie! He remains as Cool and recognizable as any of the tough guys have ever been too. You are missed Charles Bronson, R.I.P.
Dale Gaustad
Charles Bronson was truly a great actor,and underrated.
Philip Dobbins
I don't miss him. I carry him in my heart. When I see his films it's like greeting an old friend.
Djamel Bouch
@Dale Gaustad Underated? Are you out off your mind? The whole world considered him as one of the top movies stars in his era!
John Davis
Amen to that. I miss him and so many others.
PM Sales
He was a good actor!
Barney Rubbel
As always, Charlie (again) is THE MAN. RIP, sir and thank you for the consistent memorable acting...and awesome you cast your lovely wife in so many of your flicks.
Alaintha
One of my favorites! They are so good together in this film! Sad we've lost both of them now, even sadder their marriage was not long enough for either of them ♥
Dale Hood
alaintha, Charles and Jill did quite a few movies together. Not sure how many. When Charles Bronson was in the "Great Escape", Jill was married to David McCallum, (The Man From Uncle). Charles told David, "I'm going to marry your wife." And he did. Take care and all the best.
