The New Amsterdams - My Old Man Had A Pistol lyrics

My old man had a pistol

Never carried around

Never taught me to use it, yeah

No blood on the ground

Images of a family

Somewhere deep in the South

Wish that girl'd taken pictures, yeah

Dragged me out

Stand inside

Knees fall to the ground

I pray take me far away

From everything that I am

Must've lost all my memories

Must've blacked 'em all out

Thank God for the pictures, yeah

Didn't burn in the house

Stand inside

Knees fall to the ground

I pray take me far away

From everything that I am

Escape is the only way out
