Vine to Vine
Matthew Dear
Ahhh...
I was a breath short of death
I was in grave danger
And I tried with all my might
To right myself from the assault of this
Strange, stranger
I never did expect
Such intolerance from such a
Ranger
Now my body lies in the heat Texas sun
No time for revenge
Or of anger
My wife sits and waits for me
But I will never come back home
Only so many years on this earth
And this is how I go?
This land I've broken
Now has broken my fall
One bullet through the palm of my raised hand
A vicious man not even that tall
Ahhh...
Bury me south of the divided street
Pack that land in between my teeth
Always had my death all planned out
And just so happens it be right now
Ahhh...
