Carrie Underwood turns the classic image of Cupid on its head in this energetic track, presenting a feisty twist on love's pursuit. Instead of the traditional bow and arrows, Cupid wields a shotgun, symbolizing how intense and overwhelming romantic pursuits can feel. Carrie portrays herself as evasive and resilient, dodging these forceful advances. The metaphor extends to her taking up arms herself, indicating that she's not just a passive target but an active participant in her love life, ready to take control and fight back. This song cleverly mixes themes of love with elements of a chase, emphasizing empowerment and self-protection in romantic endeavors.
Cupid's Got a Shotgun
Lyrics
Oh he gave up on arrows a long, long time ago
Turns out I'm too hard to hit so he put away his bow
I might just keep on running from here to Timbuktu
'Cause he gave up on arrows and I ain't bulletproof
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I've been dodging bullets, I've been hiding in the dark
Sawed off double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid's got a shotgun and he's pointing it at me
He's sitting in that tree stand and his wings are camouflage
I'm dug down in my foxhole waiting on his next barrage
Must be open season, got a target on my back
Think he's throwing love grenades and I'm under attack
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I've been dodging bullets, I've been hiding in the dark
Sawed off double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid's got a shotgun and he's pointing it at me
Yeah
Well he's got me in his sights, I've got a red dot on my chest
But little does he know I strapped on my Kevlar vest
I pulled out my Remington and I loaded up these shells
He's about to find out I'm a dang good shot myself
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I've been dodging bullets, I've been hiding in the dark
Sawed off double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid's got a shotgun and he's pointing it at me
Yeah Cupid's got a shotgun
But right now he's running from me
