infamous stringdusters - tragic life lyrics
i’m a long way from home
i don’t know where i’ll go
i a’int slept in days
and the water’s running low
got a posse at my back
and bullet in my side
lord i gotta keep on movin’
find a good place to hide
well they tried to take me in
for shootin’ down a man
he got what he deserved
they’ll have to catch me if they can
i feel my blood runnin’ colder every day
i know that soon this old body be layin’ beneath the clay
i came home from the range
and the moon was shining bright
saw two shadows moving
like demons in the night
i felt my body tremble
as i saw them lyin’ there
a stranger with my wife
i drew the pistol that i wear
oh, and i feel my blood runnin’ colder every day
and i know that soon this old body be layin’ ‘neath the clay
i shot him in the back
as he was makin’ for the door
i stood over a man
that i knew i’d seen before
his hand was on his chest
and i knew i’d gone too far
when i opened up his vest
and i saw that silver star
(break)
oh, and i feel my blood flowin’ colder every day
and i know that soon this old body be layin’ ‘neath the clay
oh, and i feel my blood flowin’ colder every day
and i know that soon this old body be layin’ ‘neath the clay
