Ground

I′ll tell you a storyOf blood, guts, and glory

And all that was lost on the way

There was nothing to do

And nowhere to run

There was nothing that I could say

Are the dust in my eyes enough

To tell me what to do?

And the bullet you left in my thigh

Well I'm giving it back to you

It wasn′t always that easy, no

It wasn't always that slow

I just thought you'd like to know this time

I just thought you′d like to know

And did you tell your mother what you did to me that day?

Oh, when she asked you where you found success

Did you simply turn away?

I′m coming for you now

And I'm coming for her too

And when you′re in the ground

Well maybe I'll be done with you

It wasn′t always that easy

No it wasn't always that slow

And when the gun was cocked

And when the bullet was set

Well there was nowhere left to go

It wasn′t always that easy

No it wasn't always that slow

I just thought you'd like to know this time

I just thought you′d like to know

And was I wrong?

Was it fated from the start?

Or did I stand a chance at all?

Here I′ll wait inside a bar for that proverbial hammer to fall

And he's coming for me now

Oh he′s coming for her too

And when we're in the ground

Well then we′ll still have nothing left that we can do

That we can do

That we can do

Are the dust in my eyes enough

To tell me what to do?

And the bullet you left in my thigh

Well I'm giving it back to you

It wasn′t always that easy, no

It wasn't always that slow

I just thought you'd like to know this time

I just thought you′d like to know
