Smokestacks & Silos

The Goddamn Gallows

Compositor: Não Disponível

Well, mister I got a confession
It’s bound in flesh and marked in blood
Hell, I live my life just to lose again
And I never been no good
I finished my bottle of whiskey
And a man knocked on my door
He said “son, your daddy’s got the devils blood
And your mother, she’s a whore

Smokestacks and silos
70 Paces and then you’ll know
It’s a saving grace but I won’t be saved
Just follow my path to the unmarked grave

Well, I killed that man with my righteous hand
But my hand ain’t one to judge
I dragged him through those barren fields
And I dug him in the mud
Mister now don’t you worry
Cause life is fun when life is sin
I’ve never been in no hurry
I never seem to win

Smokestacks and silos
70 Paces and then you’ll know
It’s a saving grace but I won’t be saved
Just follow my path to the unmarked grave
