Lyrics
Well my legs they shake and my arms are sore
Oh Lord
My hands are bleeding my skin is raw
Oh Lord
I've been digging my own grave
And I can't dig no more
Mister boss man watching his head on his gun
Oh Lord
And he smiles like the devil when Easter is done
Oh Lord
I've got a bullet with my name
And I ain't got no place to run
I ain't got no place to run
Well his fists were hard and his punches were clean
Oh Lord
And he pulled out that knife and his face it was mean
Oh Lord
And he said don't you worry son
Where you going ain't no one gonna hear you scream
Oh Lord please help me I can't help myself now
Oh I'm too damn young and pretty to go burning in hell
I got these shallow grave blues yeah
And I ain't got no one I ain't got no one to tell
So now my soul it's on fire there's no wondering why
Oh Lord
I'm sitting in this mud this blood and this shit just waiting to die
Oh Lord
When you love a girl
Make sure there ain't no other hand in her pie
