Lyrics

Mmm... yeah... Mmm... you hear that comin'? Boot heels grindin' gravel slow Sun bleeds out, sky's burnin' low You drew your line in the dust tonight Now you're starin' down a loaded fight You talk big with a borrowed flame But I've been baptized in worse than pain Every scar got a story to tell And every one rings a warning bell You don't know the road I ride You don't see what lives inside You can run your mouth, you can take your shot You can bring hell down, give it all you got But you ain't breakin' bones that don't bend You ain't beatin' what won't end You picked a fight you don't understand Shook the devil with a steady hand You can try all night, but you're gonna fail You picked the wrong damn devil to nail Dust kicks up when I step in line Graveyard eyes and a spine of iron You play tough in a borrowed skin I was born where the wolves begin Every breath like a loaded gun Every step says I've already won You feel that chill when I walk in slow? That's your last chance sayin' let it go You lit the match, I am the fire You climb the hill, I take you higher You can run your mouth, you can take your shot You can bring hell down, give it all you got But you ain't breakin' bones that don't bend You ain't beatin' what won't end You picked a fight you don't understand Shook the devil with a steady hand You can try all night, but you're gonna fail You picked the wrong damn devil to nail Blues harp screaming, dirty and wild You hear that howl in the dead night wind? That's the sound of where I've been You feel that weight in your chest sink down? That's the king takin' back his crown You can bring your storm, bring your war I've seen worse and I'm still standin' tall You can burn it down, strike that match I'll rise up from the ash You picked a fight you don't understand Shook the devil with a steady hand Now it's too late, you crossed that line And now your end is closin' time Mmm... yeah... Should've walked away...
