guns and dust
|
| charlie was a local boy with nothing left to lose |
| jody was the girl of choice that charlie'd always chose |
| they say he tried his best to find a job with decent pay |
| but things were tough all over, dealing dope became his trade |
| they always had some money but soon charlie could care less |
| jody pled lets let it go and leave here with the best |
| but it's hard to leave a good thing when you finally start to win |
| jody finally went her way but charlie never quit |
| chorus: with his guns and dust, another small town bust |
| had 'em runnin' 'round in circles, now you're runnin' out of luck |
| and i know it aint my place to say, to take some time and hide away |
| from these guns and dust bowl blues |
| no one seemed to blame him , they say its all that he was taught |
| till another dope deal gone bad and then one day he got caught |
| with his steely eyes at midnight but he just couldn't seem to see |
| and the wind was loud and cold like his lonely lover's plea |
| well the cops were all around with the first shot ringing loud |
| charlie took one in the leg that put him on the ground |
| but no one saw where charlie fell and its probably just as well |
| cause it don't really matter, now its all blown to hell |
| chorus, 2 times |
