lyrics

I rode in to Vicksburg Mississippi
I’d come down from Ft Smith Arkansas
And met an ole grave robber on the banks down by the river
A snake upon a casket ‘hind the door the gates of hell
I said oh well
If I’m gonna lose
Drug abuse
Matchstick blues
Spark and smoke and flame

Got family round there and I know they kinda miss me
I’ve been around seen some things they never saw
And tried hard fit this rounder in the square that you all sold hell
Sat down on an old stump and I felt that I had failed
I know I’d settle
For My slice of pie
In the by an by
But please don’t lie
And tell me this spit is rain

Turns out it was hope, and waiting round that kills me
I’ve looked around I seen a world that wants to brawl
Revolver stowed by my side and always prepped for trouble
Never in the wrong ..Its the tolling of the bell
I can’t quell
The urge to run
Follow the sun
Live by the gun
I might regret that one day
