Halestorm - Jump The Gun Lyrics






Boot on the start line
Pistol in the air
'Quila in the glass and a cold, dead stare
Two minutes in baby make your move
If you won't do it I'll do it for you
I ain't waitin' on you, no
I ain't waitin' for you

[Chorus:]
I jumped the gun
Oh here I go again
I'm the one
Don't know when to say when
Was here for fun I wasn't looking for a friend
Now we're kissing under covers and it's all just because I jumped the gun

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Checkers on the flag
Time to pay the tab
Hoppin' in a cab
It's time to be bad
Cigarette smoke, lipstick on your face
My place or yours
I'm good either way
Oh babe my meter's runnin'
Oh baby are you coming?

[Chorus x2]

Woke up in the morning pounding in my head
Three empty bottles no sheets on the bed
Baby rolled over and this is what he said
He said, "Babe I think I love you"

[Chorus]

Oh, here I go again
I'm the one
Don't know when to say when
Here for fun I wasn't looking for a friend
Now we're kissing under covers and it's all just because
I couldn't keep it in my pocket
Lit the fuse to the rocket
And I'm sinnin' while I'm winnin'
Nights ending but beginnin'
And we'll see the rising sun
Because I jumped the gun
I jumped the gun

Boot on the start line
Pistol in the air
'Quila in the glass, oh here I go again

Halestorm Jump The Gun Comments
  1. L.... O....

    If you listen closely during the guitar solo (1:43) you can hear sex noises and moaning. There’s a really loud moan at 1:53 too.

  2. L.... O....

    Why do I feel like I know this song? Is it in an ad or a movie or something?

  3. �.... �....

    Is it only me or I hear some country sound in here? It's very curious.

    �.... �....

    Halestorm always had country and roots rock influences

  4. F.... E....

    Switch to 1.25 for more awesomeness

    F.... E....

    Filip Endris OMG lol

  5. H.... G....

    H.... G....

    H.... G....

    горячая сука

  8. M.... H....

    It reminds me a bit of Rag Doll by Aerosmith. That was always a good tune to have in your head when out for a run. This is gonna work dead well :-)

  9. C.... D....

    WHO WOULD DISLIKE THIS

  10. M.... S....

    Joe saying "babe,i think i love you " OMG...If lzzy doesnt kiss him when he says that, i will kiss him lol.

    M.... S....

    Oh good so it's Joe who says that line not Arejay. I had this terrible fear it was Arejay

  11. R.... M....

    wonderful voices, l love u lzzy HALE <3

  12. J.... A....

    This and I Like It Heavy are my personal favorites from the new album!

    J.... A....

    Jordan A They both seem to have a similar vibe.

  13. x.... ....

  15. �.... �....

    Probably my favorite song on the album, besides sick individual~

  16. Z.... ....

    Kinda reminds me of "Stompa" by Serena Ryder

  17. L.... L....

    I go next week for my concert tickets.. *_* And I´m sooo happy! It was my dream You to come to Prague (Czech Republic)... And hope to buy there Your CD.... :3 I like to take something from concerts.. :3 
    So 13.8. will be my lucky day!!!! *_*

    L.... L....

    +Lyra Lee Škoda, že jsem je v ty době neznal :D :/

    L.... L....

    yep, to bola hodne velka skoda, pretoze ten koncert bol ten najlepsi na aky som kedy mohla ist... Ale pry se jim Praha libila, tak snad prijdu znovu *_* Dufam v to hodne lebo sakra musim na kazdy ich koncert co tu bude :D

    L.... L....

    @Lyra Lee Tak snad přijedou :D 

    L.... L....

    yep... :D A to uz o nich vediet budes :D

  18. S.... G....

    UH-OH! Mz.Hyde just Jumped The Gun!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!! ;P

  19. J.... S....

    I have so much love for this song. Can't get enough.

  20. M.... ....

    I really want a music video for this one

    M.... ....

    She didn't sound as though she ever regrets her sexual adventures in any of her songs ever. I'm pretty sure she would happily get laid, then be shown picking up another guy at the end. 😉

    M.... ....

    +Mlumps It wouldn't be far fetched for them to make a video like that, Lzzy has said that she is a very sexual person and is proud of her sexual nature, in all honesty, they could end up making Joe being the one who she picks up at the bar

    M.... ....

    +MrZangetsu1997 A lot of men would be turned off by such a woman, or at least, start pressuring her to "settle down" once things stopped being casual and started getting serious between them. Not I. _(grins)_ For the sake of discussion, if I were her significant other, there's nothing in the world that would make me want that side of her to change a bit.

    M.... ....

    Mlumps Almost none of Halestorm videos have storylines except for Familiar Taste of Poison.

  21. A.... B....

    CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM NEXT WEEK!! 🙌

  22. S.... ....

    Sounds like a song you would hear during a car commercial

  23. k.... ....

    I'm not really feeling this record. I had high expectation for it, but it just sounds too poppy for me. When Lzzy was on That Metal Show she said they wanted to record this like a live album, and that they went into the studio and recorded a lot of it at all once. I just don't hear it.

  24. C.... A....

    Favorite song!

  25. I.... ....

    I really love the groove that this song has.

    I hope they do a video for this song. I think they could get pretty creative and a bit comical.

  26. D.... D....

    -smiles- this makes my heart skip a beat n blush not gonna lie :)

  27. p.... m....

    End of song is sexiest end of song that I've ever heard.

  28. M.... B....

    Should be on the standard version of the album because this is the best song off Into The Wild Life

    M.... B....

    There must be some additional motive for buying the deluxe edition.

    M.... B....

    Naw bro. Mayhem.

  29. L.... D....

    Why isn't this group more known ? It's real rock, there's really good level !

    L.... D....

    +JohnnySixString I don't hear it....it's more like classic rock.it's too loud to be country.

    L.... D....

    they're very well known. what are you talking about?

  30. T.... ....

    This song does not disappoint

  31. M.... B....

    Cleay a lot of classic rock influence on this album... which is not a bad thing

  32. G.... S....

    the album is epic!!

  33. f.... ....

    i'm soo buying this on vinyl!!

  34. J.... p....

    This song "jumped the Shark".

    J.... p....

    maybe so but i am sure you would "Jump her"

  35. G.... C....

    Curti, parabéns pelo seu trabalho, GoGo Lançar mais músicas...

  36. J.... R....

    Now i have to buy deluxe!

  37. A.... M....

    The great day of this album finaly comes! Amen
