Lyrics The SteelDrivers

The SteelDrivers

Peacemaker

I'm a cool 3 lbs of cold blue steel

I shoot even deader than the way I feel

made to fit right in your hand

why i'll never understand

I coulda been a hammer or a railroad spike

I coulda been a train rollin through the night

but they gave my voice such a terrible sound

that I wish they'd left me in the ground

I'm a peacemaker

don't know how I got my name

I'm a peacemaker

if I don't deserve the credit

why do I deserve the blame

When the lion lays down with the lamb

then you won't find me in nobody's hand

till that time I will remain

till the sinners lay down with the saints

I'm a peacemaker

don't know how I got my name

I'm a peacemaker

if I don't deserve the credit

why do I deserve the blame

I'm a peacemaker

don't know how I got my name

I'm a peacemaker

if I don't deserve the credit

why do I deserve the blame

I'm a cool 3 lbs of cold blue steel

I shoot even deader than the way I feel
