lyrics

Gonna put a bullet in you
Give myself something to do
Times are hard out in the yard
Gonna put a bullet in you

Then I'll pray for forgiveness
I will try to make my peace
And I won't get no sleep tonight
But I got mouths to feed

My hands used to be calloused
My back was twisted and sore
They used to bring them by the truckload
Before they discovered the cure

I have gathered all my pennies
From the wedding ring I hawked
The best way to multiply them
Is to put them in a sock

I've got nothing left worth saving
All I've found I soon have lost
For me walking straight and narrow
Is like trying to dig through the frost

There's an angel lies beside me
Asking me to change my ways
I don't like to disappoint her
But I got bills to pay

Gonna put a bullet in you
Give myself something to do
Times are hard out in the yard
Gonna put a bullet in you
