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...
