Deadly Gentlemen - Bullet in My Shoulder lyrics

(G. Liszt, based on Wanted Man by B. Hilliard, L. Pockriss) I did have to do it And yeah I did do it I did it but damn did it cost me What good are my two bare hands On a twenty man posse? Bullet in my shoulder Blood running down my vest Ah they’re coming They’re never going to let me rest I took off out of that dumpy town But now his boys are coming to hunt me down I’m not going to be going down easy I’m not going to be going down quickly I can’t k** the pain It’s still the same No morphine and I’m about out of whiskey Bullet in my shoulder Blood running down my vest Ah they’re coming They’re never going to let me rest If only I could have turned a cold shoulder I could have blown it off instead I might be dumb but I do know well She’ll love another man when I’m in a coffin dead The rage in my body Filled in the building

He put up a good fight It’s a miracle I k**ed him Bullet in my shoulder Blood running down my vest Twenty man posse coming to toss me They’re never going to let me rest Was it worth it bothering? It wasn’t Twenty mad men and a father and a cousin Coming to k** me in my prime I’d really been hoping to get older It would have been nice But I’m on a tired old worn-out horse What’s more I’ve got a Bullet in my shoulder Blood running down my vest They’re never going to let me rest Better to go down one night Dead in gunfight blazing Than shackled chained strangled Dangling while they stone my face in I had to do it I did do it I did it but damn did it cost me Tell me What good are my two bare hands On a twenty-man posse? Bullet in my shoulder Blood running down my vest They’re coming They’re never going to let me rest
