HELL'S A $2 DOLLAR PISTOL IN A CHEATED MAN'S......HAND  
 
I HELD A LOVE FOR A TRAVELIN' WOMAN 
ROAMED THE DITCHES OF HER HEART, WHERE LOVE IS LOST OR WON 
YEA, SHE SWORE THAT SHE LOVED ME, SHE WAS LAYING DOWN BEHIND ME 
TRYIN TO FILL THAT EMPTY FEELING THAT HER RAISING LEFT UNDONE 
SOME THINGS SHOULD REMAIN UNSPOKEN 
THEM DARKER THINGS THEY SHOULD REMAIN UNDONE 
BUT THE DEVIL HOLD THE REINS OF A HORSE THEY CALL COCAINE 
YOU CAN RIDE ALL NIGHT, BUT YOU NEVER GONNA CATCH THE SUN 
 
IN THE GREY MORNING LIGHT NORTH OF DALLAS 
WITH A SINGLE SHOT THEY DEPARTED THAT SWEET TOWN 
HELL, I AIN'T THAT GOOD AN AIM, I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN 
WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEN HARD TIMES TOOK'EM DOWN 
 
SWEET FORGIVENESS, COULD YA ROLL ME EASY 
 
I KNOW JESUS GONE AND DONE THE BEST HE CAN 
 
BUT IF HEAVEN'S MY WOMAN, YA'LL NEED TO UNDERSTAND 
 
HELL'S A $2 DOLLAR PISTOL IN A CHEATED MAN'S......HAND
