F C

You can lie to your Mama, you can lie to your race

F Bb

But you can’t lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face

F C

And the same God that you’re so afraid is gonna send you to hell

F Bb

Is the same one you’re gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell

F C

Well, Your sister’s been blaming everybody

F Bb

I don’t blame her, man, I guess I’d do the same

F C

if you was my brother, man, I‘d probably stand by you.

F Bb

But you ain’t, man, so I got to go my way.

Chorus 1:

Dm

And I ain’t gonna crawl upon no high horse

Bb

Cause I got thrown off of one

F

When I was young and I ain’t no cowboy

Bb

So I ain’t going where I don’t belong

Dm

It wouldn’t do you no good to let you know that

Bb

It damned near killed me too

F Bb

So I ain’t gonna mourn for you, man, now that you’re gone

Me and you, we liked our pills and our whiskey

But you don’t want your head full of either one when the house gets quiet and dark

Having fun used to be so damned easy

Racing trains from 2nd Street to Avalon

Chorus 2:

Take a trip down memory lane

You don’t see no friendly faces

All the houses have been painted and

Nobody knows your name.

It’s enough to make a man not want

To be nobody’s Daddy

When all he thinks he’s got left to hand down is guilt and shame

Chorus 1

You can lie to your Mama, you can lie to your race

But you can’t lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face

And the same God that you’re so afraid is gonna send you to hell

Is the same one you’re gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell
