Вступление
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I can hear the devil boy he’s whisperin’ in my ear
I try to drown out all the noise and I can’t buck what I hear
Grandmas in the back room in her bed she’s busy dyin’
Uncle Bobby’s in her pocketbook for pills and her last dimes
[Verse 2]
I was drunk before the sun came up said things I did not mean
I picked myself up off the ground and I spit out my own teeth
Cause my brothers out of prison now and he can’t pay the rent
Gotta baby on the way and a habit he can’t kick
[Chorus]
Cause Lord I swear I ain’t goin’ out like the way you did
I’ll be damned if I don’t fight like hell to the bitter end
[Verse 3]
No one gave a damn bout Daddy ‘till his god damn lungs gave out
So they went and bought him roses now he’s all they talk about
Just as guilty as a trigger I’m a bullet with no aim
Lay my body on the ashes you can’t set my soul aflame
[Verse 4]
Ashes to ashes boy in dust we shall return
I’ll strike my own matches when it’s my time to burn
[Chorus]
Cause Lord I swear I ain’t goin’ out like the way you did
I’ll be damned if I don’t fight like hell to the bitter end
[Outro]
Lord I swear I ain’t goin’ out like the way you did
I’ll be damned if I don’t fight like hell… tooth and nail… fight like hell to the bitter end
