lyrics

devil, liquor and gunsmoke

on a lonely night in Texas in 1862
hell descended on my town when I was 22
outlaws raged across the land they killed my wife and child
slaughtered all the livestock was nothing left alive

lying in the rain and mud I drew my final breath
a man appeared before me I thought that he was death
he smiled just like a serpent but he was old and wise
he lit a match and had a smoke and looked me in the eyes

listen to me boy and listen to me well
I’ve got deal to offer you and I brought it straight from hell
you can have your vengeance I’ll spare you from the grave
just send me souls of evil men ‘cause that is what I crave

chorus:
the devil, liquor, and gunsmoke on my breath
a trail of vengeance until I find my death
my hands are lightening, my eyes are filled with hate
the devil, liquor, and gunsmoke are my fate

through burning pain and gritted teeth
I signed the deal with him
now I’m a gun of judgment huntin’ those who sinned
my gun is never empty its bullets are on fire
my penance stare will light ‘em up just like a burning pyre
so I ride but never sleep my spirit knows no rest
outlaws run in fear of the demon in my chest
the plains of mighty Texas have never seen my kind
when I’m done I’ll rid the earth of every outlaw kind

the devil, liquor, and gunsmoke on my breath
a trail of vengeance until I find my death
my hands are lightening, my eyes are filled with hate
I can’t turn back it’s far far too late
the devil, liquor, and gunsmoke on my breath
a trail of vengeance until I find my death
my hands are lightening, my eyes are filled with hate
the devil, liquor, and gunsmoke are my fate
