Bullets |
Oh, well, he’s been collecting since the age of nine |
Every shiny bullet that he could find |
Built himself a house with the wooden floors |
Put the shiny bullets in a chest of drawers |
Well, his wife’s long gone and the kids are grown |
The trees, they fall down on their own |
Memories fade like an old slideshow |
But the bullets still shine like coins in the snow |
Well, one day he took himself into town |
When the men with the truck, well, they came around |
They took the television and the gun from the wall |
Oh, and almost every bullet from the chest of drawers |
Oh, no, oh |
Well, he came back home, found the house in a mess |
Run into the bedroom and the old brown chest |
Well, he didn’t care much for the VCR |
But he cried for the space where the bullets were |
Well, the men took the truck down into town |
And they sold all the silver they had found |
But they couldn’t sell the bullets 'cause they weren’t live rounds |
So they dug a big hole, put the bullets in the ground |
Oh-oh-oh, no, oh-oh, I… |
Well, he doesn’t leave the house much anymore |
'Cause the men are gonna come like they did before |
And he’ll hold onto the three or four |
Bullets that they left in the chest of drawers |
Well, the bullets that they left in the chest of drawers |
