"Gunpowder & Lead" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Miranda Lambert. It was released in January 2008 as the third single from her album ''Crazy Ex-Girlfriend''. The album's third single, it became Lambert's first Top 10 hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs in July 2008. With over 1,000,000 digital downloads, "Gunpowder & Lead" was certified Platinum by the RIAA on December 3, 2010. The song was written by Lambert and Heather Little. The song was made available as downloadable content for the game Rock Band on December 16, 2008. ==Content== The song is a moderate up-tempo song in the key of G Dorian backed by electric guitar. Its lyrics focus on the narrator, who tells of her plans to shoot her abusive husband once he is let out of jail. The radio edit omits sound effects which are heard on the album version: door slowly creaking open at the beginning, and the sound of a gunshot at the end with the sound of the door slowly creaking closed. The song has been compared to "Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie Chicks and "Independence Day" by Martina McBride, both of which feature abused wives killing their husbands as well.〔 According to Lambert, the song's storyline was inspired by a point in her life when her parents would take abuse victims into their home, and she had to share her bedroom with a mother and daughter.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gunpowder & Lead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
