Three leagues down the soft side of where you left my

Gold rose crown, you broke down and left me with a

Chest hum, a black gun, and forty dollarsChest hum, a black gun, and forty dollars

Three weeks down, I drowned myself in whiskey

Came back round, and drowned out, and left me with a

Chest hum, a black gun, and forty dollars

Chest hum, a black gun, and forty dollars

Streetlights talk the same way my mother told me

I walk the same way my father told me

Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier

Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier

Wise men talk the same way my mother told me

I walk the same way my father told me

Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier

Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

You go down south, south

Streetlights talk the same way my mother told me

I walk the same way my father told me

Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier

Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier

Wise men talk the same way my mother told me

I walk the same way my father told me

Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier

Back straight and chest out, just like a soldier
