I haven't pulled the trigger
but that don't mean I won't
Don't wanna see you shiver
when you're out on your own
You better count your blessings
just count 'em on your hand
But you'll need thousands more
if you're gonna count your sins, (yeah)
I'm driving flat black
I haven't seen the sun
The night is on my back
I'm not the only one
between the two of us
who brought a '45
It was a cheap shot
but tell me now, who's still alive?
No fight, no way
I see the setting sun
No break of day
'Cause we'll get it done
I'm out for blood and trouble
I'm out to get my pound
This itchy trigger finger
will never let me down
A face of dumb surprise
He can't believe it's so
That's two that's in the ground
and now that makes it one to go (oh)
He draws down on me first
I twist his wrist, it snaps
His fist hits broken ribs
and now I'm on my back
My aim is still true
My hand is deadly swift
He was a man of much importance
now he's just a lonely stiff
No fight, no way
I see the setting sun
No break of day
'Cause we'll get it done
You left me bleeding, broken
Double crossed and hopeless
But I won't make the same mistake
This only ends one way
This only ends one way
This only ends one way
No fight, no way
I see the setting sun
No break of day
'Cause we'll get it done
