You can lie to your Mama, you can lie to your race But you can't lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face. And the same God that you're so afraid is gonna send you to hell Is the same one you're gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell. Your sister's been blaming everybody. I don't blame her, man, I guess I'd do the same If you was my brother, man, I'd probably stand by you. But you ain't, man, so I got to go my way. And I ain't gonna crawl upon no high horse Cause I got thrown off of one When I was young and I ain't no cowboy So I ain't going where I don't belong. It wouldn't do you no good to let you know that it damned near killed me too So I ain't gonna mourn for you, man, now that you're gone. Me and you, we liked our pills and our whiskey. But you don't want your head full of either one when The house gets quiet and dark. Having fun used to be so damned easy, Racing trains from Second Street to Avalon. Take a trip down memory lane, You don't see no friendly faces All the houses have been painted and Nobody knows your name. It's enough to make a man not want To be nobody's Daddy, When all he thinks he's got left to hand down is guilt and shame. And I ain't gonna crawl upon no high horse... You can lie to your Mama, you can lie to your race But you can't lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face. And the same God that you're so afraid is gonna send you to hell Is the same one you're gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell.
