No More Red Than a Rose

Well that old tiger blood jumped on the dust
That phony buck will get you far enough
That crooked mile between you and her
Bent El Paso out of shape, a bottle and a blur
My hands will be no more, no more red than a rose

Well madam found a fortune there in your palm
She'll play percussion with a cherry bomb
Hijack a Buick for New Mexico
That old diamond dancing on the barrel of a gun
The devil sang along
My hands will be no more, no more red than a rose

My hands will be no more, no more red than a rose
A melody out of her clothes
I got no diamond up my sleeve but I'm leaving like a thief
That yellow wood bird gonna pay to drag the lake
My hands will be no more, no more red than a rose

Vanish for Good pinned a note to my shirt
Sunrise will put you in a hearse
One eye on Reno, one eye asleep
Roulette spun you out of town, red and black around
A clock is all they found
My hands will be no more, no more red than a rose
