Lyrics
He sure liked the whiskey
Sweet sting on his lips
Went to his head
Then straight down to his fist
My mama warned me
Not to trust a man like him
But he had everyone else
In this whole town convinced
He was as honest as a preacher
Straight shooting as a gun
Charmed all of the people
Like the snake that he was
The day they read his eulogy
Prayers came from everyone but me
I hid a smile, covered up the bruise
We said goodbye crying"gone too soon"
They claimed an angel got his wings
But that blue eyed devil earned those flames
A trigger jury and a bullet judge
I skipped the sheriff
Took it up with God
The path of the righteous
Ain't the easiest to choose
But I spent at least a hundred nights hiding out
In a locked hallway bathroom
Yeah, I knew
He kept his 45 empty
The 12 gauge full
By the door with the trigger
He was pushing me to pull
The day they read his eulogy
Prayers came from everyone but me
I hid a smile covered up the bruise
We said goodbye crying"gone too soon"
They claimed an angel got his wings
But that blue eyed devil earned those flames
A trigger jury and a bullet judge
I skipped the sheriff
Took it up with God
Took it up with God
The neighbors heard the shot
I said I found the note
Fake tears
Case closed
The day they read his eulogy
Prayers came from everyone but me
I hid a smile covered up the bruise
We said goodbye crying"gone too soon"
They claimed an angel got his wings
But that blue eyed devil earned those flames
A trigger jury and a bullet judge
I skipped the sheriff
Took it up with God
And he ain't up with God
No
I took it up with God
