Ballad

I got a gun and some scars and an eye made of glass.
One eye sees the present, one eye sees the past.
I got a battered old suit and a tired old story about a life that I can't leave behind.

And it's a rose in a graveyard.
And a gun in my face.
The scars on my heart, well they run deep.
It's a gun at my back as I'm walking away and your firing off into the air.

Now there's no future that I can look to.
My past is catching up to me.
There's no one left I can turn to 'cause I won't see anyone else hurt by this.
Gonna find that red eyed coyote, we're gonna set each other free.
There's nothing you can do for a dead soul and this is the only path that's left for me.

It's a rose in a graveyard and a gun in my face.
The curls of her heir make my heart stop.
It's a gun at my back as I'm walking away and you're firing into the air.

Now hard luck woman I can't stay here no more.
There's something that I gotta know.
Gotta find out if I'm really alive.
Gotta see if I can carry that weight.
