INTRO: Am F G Am
Am G Am
THERE’S A BLACK PRISON HEARSE GONNA COME AND GET ME

HELL’S A $2 DOLLAR PISTOL IN A CHEATED MAN’S………………HAND
I HELD A LOVE FOR A TRAVELIN’ WOMAN
ROAMED THE DITCHES OF HER HEART, WHERE LOVE IS LOST OR WON
YEA, SHE SWORE THAT SHE LOVED ME, SHE WAS LAYING DOWN BEHIND ME
TRYIN TO FILL THAT EMPTY FEELING THAT HER RAISING LEFT UNDONE
SOME THINGS SHOULD REMAIN UNSPOKEN
THEM DARKER THINGS THEY SHOULD REMAIN UNDONE
BUT THE DEVIL HOLD THE REINS OF A HORSE THEY CALL COCAINE
YOU CAN RIDE ALL NIGHT, BUT YOU NEVER GONNA CATCH THE SUN
IN THE GREY MORNING LIGHT NORTH OF DALLAS
WITH A SINGLE SHOT THEY DEPARTED THAT SWEET TOWN
HELL, I AIN’T THAT GOOD AN AIM, I DON’T HAVE TO EXPLAIN
WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEN HARD TIMES TOOK’EM DOWN
SWEET FORGIVENESS, COULD YA ROLL ME EASY
I KNOW JESUS GONE AND DONE THE BEST HE CAN
BUT IF HEAVEN’S MY WOMAN, YA’LL NEED TO UNDERSTAND
HELL’S A $2 DOLLAR PISTOL IN A CHEATED MAN’S………………HAND
