Scoundrel
We had a good run
Didn't we, boys?
Why the louder the commotion
Means the bigger the noise
We got a live one
A real snake in the grass
And it'll wait til' you're unfocused
Just to bite you in the ass
This is not a hill I'll die on
Give you a couple of chords
And some half-truths
Drop a lie
When I didn't even have to
This place ain't no country
For no honest men
I'm in deep now
All the way up to my eyeballs
And if my Mama were here
Well, she'd smack me up the head"Never cheat or steal"
She raised me to be an honest man
Not even desperate times
And I'm a liar and a scoundrel instead
We had our hopes up
And our heads in the clouds
And we were acting kind of stupid
Like a couple of clowns
I got the bloodlust
And a taste for your trust
And I am just a passenger
Should not be driving the bus
This is not a hill I'll die on
Give you a couple of chords
And some half-truths
Drop a lie
When I didn't even have to
This place ain't no country
For no honest men
I'm in deep now
All the way up to my eyeballs
And if my Mama were here
Well, she'd smack me up the head"Never cheat or steal"
She raised me to be an honest man
Not even desperate times
And I'm a liar and a scoundrel instead
I'm in deep now
All the way up to my eyeballs
And if my Mama were here
Well, she'd smack me up the head"Never cheat or steal"
She raised me to be an honest man
Not even desperate times
And I'm a liar and a scoundrel instead
Didn't we, boys?
Why the louder the commotion
Means the bigger the noise
We got a live one
A real snake in the grass
And it'll wait til' you're unfocused
Just to bite you in the ass
This is not a hill I'll die on
Give you a couple of chords
And some half-truths
Drop a lie
When I didn't even have to
This place ain't no country
For no honest men
I'm in deep now
All the way up to my eyeballs
And if my Mama were here
Well, she'd smack me up the head"Never cheat or steal"
She raised me to be an honest man
Not even desperate times
And I'm a liar and a scoundrel instead
We had our hopes up
And our heads in the clouds
And we were acting kind of stupid
Like a couple of clowns
I got the bloodlust
And a taste for your trust
And I am just a passenger
Should not be driving the bus
This is not a hill I'll die on
Give you a couple of chords
And some half-truths
Drop a lie
When I didn't even have to
This place ain't no country
For no honest men
I'm in deep now
All the way up to my eyeballs
And if my Mama were here
Well, she'd smack me up the head"Never cheat or steal"
She raised me to be an honest man
Not even desperate times
And I'm a liar and a scoundrel instead
I'm in deep now
All the way up to my eyeballs
And if my Mama were here
Well, she'd smack me up the head"Never cheat or steal"
She raised me to be an honest man
Not even desperate times
And I'm a liar and a scoundrel instead
