lyrics

Sweat on the steel rail
And dirt in my eyes
Ain’t no money in my pockets
But my mouth is…full a lies
I reek of someone else’s blood, that
Old familiar smell
Pick axe in my hand was made
To sound your
Funeral bell

But you won’t
See me comin’ (x6)
I got the mouth of your savior and the mind of an evil man
Should any man provoke me
His soul is mine to take
Put his body in the ground and feel the lon-ley heavens shake
I’ll shed no tears for him
But I will heave a final si---iigh
E (hammer on riff)
Too bad he ran his mouth down here
Too bad I passed him by

But he ain’t
See me comin’ (x6)
I got the mouth of your savior and the mind of an evil man
And when they find my body I’ll be right back in your town
No your soldered cuffs and your rusty chains can’t keep a…devil down
You’ll smoke me in your cigarettes and you’ll
Feel me in your skin
No, all your prayers and fine refrains can’t fix this…
Crooked grin

And you won’t…
See me comin’ (x6) I got the mouth of your savior and the mind of an evil man
