When Seconds Count By JoAnn Abbott with thanks to Dexter Guptil for inspiration and Mark Weaver for his great guitar work Sue was walking down the street, saw the bad guy come Pulled her cell, dialed 911; she didn’t have a gun When the cops came to her aid They did what they could do Called her next of kin and hid her body from their view When seconds count The cops are just minutes away! When seconds count You might have time enough to pray Or you might draw your gun and aim And live another day! When seconds count When seconds count. Peter pays for college driving pizzas to your door He was robbed three times last month Won’t take it any more! Got a CC license, took some classes, bought a Glock He’s had no more problems Safest pizzas on the block When seconds count The cops are just minutes away! When seconds count You might have time enough to pray Or you might draw your gun and aim And live another day! When seconds count When seconds count. Gun control means that you think it’s better that cops find A ravaged woman's body on the street I’d prefer her standing and explaining to police Just how her attacker wound up laying at her feet! Melinda took her twins and hid, and brought along her gun Listened as the bad guy broke the doors When he burst in that crawlspace she was ready and she aimed You’ve got a right defending what is yours! When seconds count The cops are just minutes away! When seconds count You might have time enough to pray Or you might draw your gun and aim And live another day! When seconds count When seconds count When seconds count. When seconds count.!

about

Sue was walking down the street, saw the bad guys come
Pulled out her cell dialed 9-1-1, she didn't have a gun
When the cops came to her aid they did what they could do
Called her next of kin and hid the body from their view

When seconds count-
The cops are just minutes away!
When seconds count-
You might have time enough to pray
Or you might draw your gun and aim to live another day
When seconds count
When seconds count

Peter pays for college bringing pizzas to your door
He was robbed three times last month, won't tke it any more!
Got a CC license, took some classes bought a Glock-
He's had no more problems, safest pizzas on the block.

When seconds count-
The cops are just minutes away!
When seconds count-
You might have time enough to pray
Or you might draw your gun and aim to live another day
When seconds count
When seconds count

Gun control means that you think it's better that cops find
A ravaged woman body in the street
I'd prefer her standing and explaining to police
How that would-be rapist wound up lieing at her feet!

Maritza took her twims and hid, and brought along her gun
Her the bad guy busting through the doors
When he came in her crawlspace she was ready, and she shot
You've got a right defending what is yours!

When seconds count-
The cops are just minutes away!
When seconds count-
You might have time enough to pray
Or you might draw your gun and aim to live another day
When seconds count
When seconds count
