Blood on the Saddle
02:05
|
|||
Verse 1
Belching fire on a motorcycle ride,
barreling into town on a full moon night
The Biker was a whiskey, card playing man
always had a gun, in his hand.
The Gambler was a no good, bastard thief,
had a pair of aces always up his sleeve.
Quick with his wits and faster with his guns,
dealt in the Biker, playing five card stud.
Chorus
There was blood on the saddle, there was blood on the ground,
another man dead, another man gone
Verse 2
The last two standing at closing time,
stakes were higher than a Georgia pine
The Biker felt cheated,
and the Gambler knew why.
The Biker flipped that table, up in the air.
Money, cards, and chips flew every where.
The Biker drew fast, but not fast enough.
The Gambler shot him twice before he shot once.

Chorus:
Shotgun! Shotgun!
yeah, shot them bastards down!
got blood on my hands when the bodies hit the ground.
Shotgun! Shotgun!
yeah, another man gone,
gotta skin outta here while I still got time to run.
Verse 1
What do you do, when it all goes bad?
You got nothing left, when you loose all you've had.
Set you up to knock you down, you're under the gun,
like a rat in the cage with no place left to run.
Chorus
Verse 2
What do you do when the sun goes down,
you're all alone on the wrong side of town.
Creep up on upon you, they're looking for a fight,
turn that scatter gun, make their wrong, your right!

Lock up your daughters, you best be afraid!
Here comes the IRON RANGE OUTLAW BRIGADE!!!
Verse 2
I always loose, I never win, but at least I play the game.
When I'm threw with you little girl, your little heart wont be the same.
I got girl in every town and they all know my name,
standing in line to feel the heat from the flame.
Lock up your daughters, you best be afraid!
Here comes the IRON RANGE OUTLAW BRIGADE!!!

Jesse James

He stole from the rich and he gave to the poor,
He had a hand, and a heart, and a brain.

They robbed that Northfield Bank
Soon the people heard and were quick to spread the word,

two children, they were brave
Let history record, it was the coward Robert Ford,
who laid poor Jesse in his grave

Verse
From the out skirts of town, came that high lonesome sound.
the tears of the mother who's son never returned back home
the tears in her eyes, came to no surprise
if her son only would have listened to her advice.
Chorus
He lived by the gun, died by the gun
Verse 2
Your brothers died, before their time, running from the law
the sheriff that hung them high, also strung up Pa
I'll be damned if the man will get my one last son
I'll be all alone with my family dead and gone
Chours
They lived by the gun, died by the gun
Verse 3
He rode into town to finish what the sheriff had begun
the only way to right this wrong is with a bullet and a gun
at high noon at Frank's saloon they drew at the count of ten
when the shots rang out and smoke cleared, young Johnny laid down dead
Chorus
He lived by the gun, died by the gun

In the Gutter
04:21
|
|||
Verse 1
Another wasted day, trying to kill the pain
on that bitter memory of that failed day
You walked on out, of that god damn door
kept on a walking and I wont see you no more
grabbed my guitar and I never looked back, hitching a ride down that old rail road track to the gutter.
Chours
In the gutter is where I spend my days
hanging out with friends who feel the same way
we aint got much but we got time to kill,
another wasted day in the gutter
Verse 2
There aint no easy way, trying to kill the pain
I'm flat broke again, I ragged and I'm poor
If I have any luck, I'll scratch off three, four bucks
and I'll be on my way down to the old liquor store
Its just like Westy sang and he did not stutter
One foot in the door and the other one is in the gutter
Chorus

Verse 1
Taconite is king way up in the lands of the pines
makes the money go round makes those small towns shine
up on the hills where the ore is rusty red
like the iron in our blood that we'll bleed til we're dead
Chorus
Big ol truck at the big ol mine
working hard, working over time
Big ol truck coming on down the line
Big ol truck at the big ol mine!!!
Verse 2
My daddy was a miner and I'm a miner's son
punching that clock and getting shit done

Verse 1
A dozen roses and a bottle of Jack
that's how I got my baby back.
I pulled up in my black Cadillac
smacked her on the ass and said, hop in the back.
A dozen roses and a bottle of Jack
Verse 2
I stole her away from a Kenyan acrobat
red dreds hanging half way down her back
A dog sledding team chased me miles through the snow
I climbed a rock wall just to let her know.
A dozen roses and a bottle of Jack.
Verse 3
A dozen roses and a bottle of Jack.
My baby's gonna give me a heart attack
when we're rocking and a rolling, to and fro
I'm tripping out boys you don't even know
A dozen roses and a bottle of Jack.

Verse 1
The year was 1980, when the mines laid me off
the economy was in shambles and I couldn't find a job
It was late September, the air was turning cold
I became a trucker and headed out on the road
Verse 2
It was after the New Year, I started drinking hard
spent less of my time at home and more time at the bar
I started spending my money on easy women just for fun
to help make ends meet, I started running guns
How can Hell be any worse?
Verse 3
That's when my wife she told me, she's tired of being alone
our one and only son was living in a broken home
She cried as she told me, my drinking was to blame
she found another man and my boy will never know my name
How can Hell be any worse?
Verse 4
I don't know what happened, how that gun got in my hand
I just wanted to scare her, I think that was the plan
something snapped inside of me, I started seeing red
six bullets rang out later and my wife was laying dead
How can Hell be any worse?
Verse 5
That's when my boy he looked at me, his face was covered in blood
like buzzards the cops circled, telling me to drop my gun
they took me on down to Stillwater, threw me in a cell
Now I'm rotting here in my man made Hell
How can Hell be any worse?
