    Story Behind the Song
    I got ripped off by a contractor in a neighboring state, and had driven there to find him, but all I found was an empty office and an FBI agent. I wrote the lyrics on napkins and odd bits of paper I had in the car, while driving back from Idaho. To me, the lyrics pretty much suggested the musical delivery, and it all came together pretty fast in a marathon recording session.

    Lyrics
    I’m Gonna Getcha
    © 2002 By Bill McClarty

    Somebody hurt you, they upset your life.
    Well you know you have my sympathy.
    I know it wasn’t right, but you’ve got no excuse,
    For what you did to me.

    I gave you trust, I gave you my money.
    I thought you’d hold up your end.
    But you did me wrong, and stole from me.
    After I tried to be your friend.

    Well, I won’t break your arms, your legs or your neck.
    I won’t shoot at you till the bullet hits you.
    It might be tomorrow, next week or tonight.
    But it’s for goddamned sure, I’m gonna get you.

    I try to forgive, and I try to forget,
    I really wish that I could say:
    That this time I’ll turn the other cheek.
    But you took that other cheek away.

    I might not have gotten, maybe half as mad,
    If you hadn’t just run and hid,
    Like a low-life thief in the dark of the night.
    But that’s exactly what you did.

    Well, it might take a week, a month or a year.
    Don’t start to think that I’ve missed you.
    Better not forget, Cuz you won’t see it coming,
    When it finally comes and it hits you.

    Pay close attention, there’s a lesson to be learned,
    In the future if you want to stay alive..
    You better be more careful, about who you hurt,
    If you want Stay alive.
