Nothing New Under the sun

Verse 1 Pocket full of steel in nineteen-oh-three Flat little fighter where a wheelgun used to be Colt came quiet, slim and clean Gentleman’s carry in a vest-line seam No hammer snag when you make that draw Grip safety tight with a low bore law Eight on board when the world ran six Blueprint born for the modern mix Pre-Chorus Detectives, generals, shadow men run All carried thunder in a coat-cut gun Chorus There ain’t nothing new under the sun Just a new coat on a loaded one From blued steel lines to polymer frames Same old purpose, different names From the pocket vest to a red-dot run There ain’t nothing new under the sun Verse 2 Kahr made nine in a coat-pocket ride Proved full power could still stay slim on the side Single stack dreams in a striker-fired line Carried the torch from another time Then the Shield came in, Hellcat heat P-three-six changed the game on the street More rounds stacked in the same old space Same old mission — just a faster pace Chorus There ain’t nothing new under the sun Just a new coat on a loaded one From steel and walnut to optics and drums Still that shadow where the carry comes Hundred-plus years and the race still runs There ain’t nothing new under the sun Bridge Now a Reflex rides with a light and dot Eighteen deep in a frame that’s not Much bigger than the Colt once drawn From a wool-lined coat at the edge of dawn Different ammo, different sight Same calm hand in the middle of night Breakdown Slim was king when the century turned Every lesson since was learned From blued steel roots to a comped nine’s hum Still hear echoes of that first slim gun Final Chorus There ain’t nothing new under the sun Just evolution of a trusted one From nineteen-three to the battles we run Same quiet steel when the day is done New tech shine but the truth stays one There ain’t nothing new under the sun Outro Started with a Colt in a tailored line Now it’s dots and comps and a double-stack nine But every road that the future runs Leads back to where that slim gun begun.
