Sons of Guns Song | Theme

Sons of Guns Song

Sons of Guns - Red Jacket Firearms
The inspiration for this post was the quest to find the artist that sings the Sons of Guns song, the theme in the opening sequence. Sons of Guns, if you don't know, is a new hit series on the Discovery Channel. It chronicles the staff of Red Jacket Firearms.

Red Jacket Firearms is based in Baton Rouge, LA, was founded by Will Hayden. Hayden, an ex-Marine, grew up with an extensive self education of warfare and firearms. Will has actually brought his daughter Stephanie Hayden on as a business partner and manager. Much of Red Jacket's success is owed to other members of the staff, some most frequently seen are gunsmith Vincent Buckles, and apprentice Kris Ford (don't forget about gunsmith Joe Meaux).

Sons of Guns Theme Song & Music Video - Shelter Me

The theme song for Sons of Guns is sang by Tab Benoit, and is called "Shelter Me." The version on the T.V. show is actually a remake of the classic by Buddy Miller. The song has been a popular question floating around the web lately. So if you found it here, enjoy!

Shelter Me Lyrics


The Earth can shake, the sky come down,
the mountains all fall to the ground.
But I will fear none of these things,
shelter me Lord underneath your wings.

Dark waters rise and thunders pound,
the wheels of war are going round
and all the walls are crumbling
shelter me Lord underneath your wings.

(Shelter me Lord)
Hide me underneath you wings,
hide me deep inside your heart
in your refuge - cover me
the world can shake
but Lord I'm making you my hiding place.

The wind can blow, the rain can pour,
the deluge breaks, the tempest roars
but in the storm my spirit sings
(when you) shelter me Lord underneath your wings.

(Shelter me Lord)
Hide me underneath you wings,
hide me deep inside your heart,
in your refuge - cover me,
the world can shake
but Lord I'm making you my hiding place.

Now on the day you call for me
someday when time - no more shall be,
I'll say oh Death where is your sting,
you shelter me Lord underneath your wings.

  13. Check out all of Tab's music, particularly his Wetlands and Fever for the Bayou CDs. He is amazing and puts on one hell of a live show! Headed to my 37th next month.

  17. Wow, What a great song for this show. I just knew that Will on "Sons of Guns" was Christian. You can tell from several things he has said. However, he shows a Christian as being strong, patriotic, and concerned for his fellow man without any weakness. Great show, great subject, and this is a great song to go with this show. This song for sure shows the Godly side with a strong portion of strength which is what God or Men of God should be associated with.

  22. Awesome song not only for former Marines but also for a lot of young men and women fighting their way back from addictions. A tough sound with meaningful lyrics. Thanks to Will for being that tough yet honorable and good hearted man that young men can look up to.
