lyrics
Music - William Chaffin
Words - William & Jen Chaffin
I rode into town with a knife and a plan
To see a young woman who would make me a man
With rivers of whiskey and bars full of stout
I found out what sadness was really about
Tu-la-lur-ra-aye The killer is coming, hand your head and cry
Tu-la-lur-ra-ah We all have a debt that we gotta pay
Took me to her room she told me some lies
The gun that she showed me was taped to her thighs
Raised my hands to the heavens and I raised them real high
But the devil was waiting for binds that I tied
Met death in the alley I gave her my best
With a black bullet promise to bury my chest
I've seen many things on my way to the end
The truth about life is that we all have no friends
So raise up your glasses you live and you boast
The winters are colder when death rows the boat
No last words to calm you no thoughts for my kin
You ask me to tell you I'll sing it again
