Never Kill a Man
You know I could never kill a man
But I sold your dad that gun
And made a widow of your mother
And you're her only son
If the boys call you a bastard
Don't tuck your tail and run
Just go on down to the crossroads
And I'll sell you a loaded shotgun
You know I could never kill a man
But I sold your son that pill
And the first one made him crazy
But the last one got him killed
And can't you see that what I do I do to just get by
And if you're gonna let that bring you down
This pill will get you high
Oh yea the widow screams
Just like a train
In the morning
And I won't let that touch my soul
Cause I lost that
Long ago
You know I could never kill a man
But I love to watch them fight
Over women and the money
It feeds my appetite
And if you think that it's too hot inside this fiery dome
You may say it's hot as hell
But hell's what I call home
Oh yea the widow screams
Just like a train
In the morning
And I won't let that touch my soul
Cause I lost that
Oh yea the widow screams
Just like a train
In the morning
And I won't let that touch my soul
Cause I lost that
Long ago
But I sold your dad that gun
And made a widow of your mother
And you're her only son
If the boys call you a bastard
Don't tuck your tail and run
Just go on down to the crossroads
And I'll sell you a loaded shotgun
You know I could never kill a man
But I sold your son that pill
And the first one made him crazy
But the last one got him killed
And can't you see that what I do I do to just get by
And if you're gonna let that bring you down
This pill will get you high
Oh yea the widow screams
Just like a train
In the morning
And I won't let that touch my soul
Cause I lost that
Long ago
You know I could never kill a man
But I love to watch them fight
Over women and the money
It feeds my appetite
And if you think that it's too hot inside this fiery dome
You may say it's hot as hell
But hell's what I call home
Oh yea the widow screams
Just like a train
In the morning
And I won't let that touch my soul
Cause I lost that
Oh yea the widow screams
Just like a train
In the morning
And I won't let that touch my soul
Cause I lost that
Long ago
