An Eye For An Eye
I ain't too young to handle this life I'm livin' in
But I'm too young to die, I've committed no sin
Except this glass of whiskey that I'm sippin' on
If that's the devil's water, convict me when I'm gone
Under this great land, to rot and burn in hell
This destiny awaits you, this much I can tell
For you took away my darlin', her love, faith and scent
This .45's for you boy, you ain't goin' in no cell
Up in this far mountain, I've found a place to stay
I ain't got much to show for, but when the sun rise each day
I stroll and get my rifle, and walk up to that devil's grave
I put ten rounds into it, and go along with my day
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will contemplate my actions, while awaitin' that chest
And when I get to you lord, and you ask me what I've done
I'll tell you my story, and the verdict will come
They say an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind
But I just can't see to have it any other way
You see what's mine, is mine, and if you can't leave it behind
I'll just make another grave with your name
I'll just make
(I just made, I just made, I just made)
Another grave
(Another grave)
With your name
I'll just make another grave with your name
But I'm too young to die, I've committed no sin
Except this glass of whiskey that I'm sippin' on
If that's the devil's water, convict me when I'm gone
Under this great land, to rot and burn in hell
This destiny awaits you, this much I can tell
For you took away my darlin', her love, faith and scent
This .45's for you boy, you ain't goin' in no cell
Up in this far mountain, I've found a place to stay
I ain't got much to show for, but when the sun rise each day
I stroll and get my rifle, and walk up to that devil's grave
I put ten rounds into it, and go along with my day
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will contemplate my actions, while awaitin' that chest
And when I get to you lord, and you ask me what I've done
I'll tell you my story, and the verdict will come
They say an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind
But I just can't see to have it any other way
You see what's mine, is mine, and if you can't leave it behind
I'll just make another grave with your name
I'll just make
(I just made, I just made, I just made)
Another grave
(Another grave)
With your name
I'll just make another grave with your name
