Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills

Another morning, another place
The only day off is far away
But every city has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again

Think about it, nobody wants to die
There's rules to this game son, I'm justified
I'm ready to go partner, hey I'm on the run
The devil's hugging on my boots that's why I own a gun

So come and tell me what my kiss tastes like
Don't wanna miss it, so turn off the lights
But I wonder if you know I hate sleeping alone

Tip my hat to the sun in the west
Feel the beat right in my chest
At the crossroads a second time
Make the devil change his mind

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away

I wear a star on my chest
And a six-gun on my side
Look out boy or you might be starin'
Down the barrel of a forty-five
There's not a judge in the town
Who'll help you now
And I think that's justified

Crawlin' from the dark up to your feet
Tell me where you've gone, speak softly
Tell me where you've gone, and what you've done
A fever keeps on comin', I want none

You gave me that smile and I gave in
And you knew that I would
Time and time again, you pulled me in
Just to give me up, give me up again

I'll never be a saint
That's not a picture that your memory paints
Not renowned for my patience
I'm not renowned for my restraint

Quick on the draw
Raw, see you notice that?
Place your bet, I'm a threat
Put your dough on that

And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew

And the grass is always overgrown
And the weeds are choking out the sun
Why do you still come home anymore

And money cant buy my soul
Because it comes from a hard earned place
