|
I am my mother's only son |
|
And you might think that I'd regret the things I've done |
|
But I can only think of one right now |
|
You and I both know the reason why you've turned your gun on me |
|
I'm rarely held in high regard |
|
And most folks don't seem to trust me very far |
|
But I can promise you one thing |
|
I would've turned my back and walked away if she had worn a ring |
|
Chorus: |
|
Please don't put your bullets in me |
|
Please don't bury me 'neath the cold, cold ground |
|
You and I alone will know the truth of what went on |
|
And you will never see my face again in town |
|
Most nights I go to bed alone |
|
And there's no place on this earth that I'd call home |
|
And I'll admit I have a roving eye |
|
But I'm not the only man who turned to look when she walked by |
|
I don't expect to buy much time |
|
But I need to find a way to change your mind |
|
And to convince you that I could not know |
|
She wore no ring upon her hand to mark the vows that she had spoken |
|
So I'm beggin' you, |
|
(Chorus) |
|
I swear the whole world must be blind |
|
If I'm the first man to see murder in your eyes |
|
How fitting now the wind is turning cold |
|
And with my dying breath I curse your life, I curse your very soul |
|
( Chorus ) |
