JUMPIN’ GUNS (Cooper/Jones)
© 2025 All Rights Reserved

Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Doin’ this dance with you baby, it really ain’t no fun

You go from nought to sixty 
Shout when there’s no fire 
Please take a beat, take fifty
Stop to think a while

You’re stressed when there’s no urgency 
Run when you could walk 
Fight when there’s no enemy 
Going off half-cocked

Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Doin’ this dance with you baby, it really ain’t no fun

You overreact every time 
No matter what the news
Each step you tread could be a mine 
You’re gonna blow a fuse 

You’re seein’ danger everywhere
Behind each mundane scroll
One day you might slip and fall
Right down that big black hole

Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Doin’ this dance with you baby, it really ain’t no fun

Jumpin’ guns, it ain’t no jive
When your trigger finger’s twitchin’
I duck, I dodge, I swerve through life 
When both barrels you’re givin’

Oh jumpin’ jumpin’ jumpin’ guns
Oh jumpin’ jumpin’ jumpin’ guns
Doin’ this dance with you baby, it really ain’t no fun
