Snakebit |
| The children are crying, they never got their supper |
| Where would you run to, in the darkness of the night? |
| Even shadows fear to wander |
| They gather round me in the candlelight |
| Your crucifix is broken, bloody, sharp and shattered |
| I smashed it to pieces on the bedroom floor |
| Pain and prayers and promises scattered |
| Then I pulled the pistol from the dresser drawer |
| Oh Lord, oh Lord |
| Oh Lord, what have I done? |
| Everything worth holding slips through my fingers |
| Now my hands wrapped around the handle of a gun |
| The further I fall the less I falter |
| Forsaken, forgotten, without love |
| A slow motion whisper turns into a holler |
| Forty years of push turns into a shove |
| Oh Lord, oh Lord |
| Oh Lord, what have I done? |
| Everything worth holding just slips through my fingers |
| Now my hands wrapped around the handle of a gun |
| The chair that I sit in belonged to my daddy |
| Carved from the hard wood of a bitter tree |
| When he was alive he used tell me, kid |
| I knew when you were born you’d end up snakebit like me |
| Oh Lord, oh Lord |
| Oh Lord, what have I done? |
| Everything worth holding slips through my fingers |
| Now my hands wrapped around the handle of a gun |
| I’m holding on to the handle of a gun |
