Bury Them Deep

bury them deep that’s what I said

time to play your dead man’s hand

dealin bullets is like dealin cards

when it all comes down to a draw

wind in my face I feel the burn

dust drinks the blood of their tears

I say goodbye but it don’t mean much

when shots ring like hits of a drum

bury them deep that’s what I said

lay your body down on the sand

when it’s all said and done

it’s just a price I work to earn

it’s just a price I work to earn

hot sun glares down on the street

silence as deep as a Colorado gorge

don’t care where you been or where you come from

it’s just my job to be done

wind in my face I love the burn

dust drinks the blood of their tears

I say goodbye but it don’t mean much

when shots ring like hits of a drum

bury them deep

and they won’t back haunt your soul like they do mine

this town crawls with beggers and thieves

come to bite the hand that feeds
