Blood on My Hands

I got blood on my hands

from all the years that come and go

cleanin up the messes that I've made

I just keep on washin but it never goes away

the more I scrub the more it stays

I got a pint from Carol Ann

who left me for a friend

never saw it comin nor did she

the night I caught 'em in the sheets

of that ol' feather bed

lord did that scene get out of hand

chorus:

so I took an eye for an eye

for what they did to me

don't pray for my soul

just give me soap

cuz you know it's a bitch comin clean

I got a quart from Laura Sue

who went and took me for a fool

but I sent her down to chainsaw school

first you fill 'er up

then you yank the cord and look out when the chain it starts to roar

I got the most from Katy Jo

who left me down and broke

after all the promises we pledged

but when it comes right down to it

love is just an axe

it cuts you through the heart

and leaves you dead

they say I need one more verse

one verse for this song

but I can't think of a single thing

I'd like to add

suffice to note

that there ain't no hope

when you're always in the red

chances are that now I'll be condemned
