Matt Costa - Ballad Of Miss Kate lyrics

You gave me your word then you took your word back

Where once I had faith, now all I see is black

Black seeing black

I gave you up rather than giving in

Where once there was virtue it's fallen to sin

Black seeing black

You gave me your word

Then you flew like a bird

Never looking back

You can run, you can try

But you won't get away this time

You played me for a fool, in your heart you had deceit

I made you up inside my mind when finally you, I meet

You had turned black, turned black

I never could have seen how you'd shoot that 44

You hit me right below the shoulder, I fell to the floor

I'm on my back, on my back

You shot me with your gun

Then you run, run, run

Never looking back

You can run into the street

My tire tracks you will soon meet

And if you run into the woods

I'll chop you down just like a tree

I rolled into town from years spent in my sleep

The word that the people held was that your price is cheap

Your price is cheap, price is cheap

The house with the red light on and fancy decor

You built your new life hastily, so now I'll find you poor

I'll find you poor, find you poor

The sheriff found you out

There is guaranteed no doubt

You ain't coming back

We watched you catch a railroad car

That didn't get you very far

And when you finally met your match

We watched you kiss the railroad tracks

Black seeing black

Black seeing black

Black seeing black

Black seeing black
