Well I grew up on the mountainside Where the Tug River flows And there’s a man on the other side Trying to take what I own We don’t talk about the reasons It’s just the way this story’s told Well I got beat down and thrown out Left for dead on the side of the road I could smell the smoke, feel the heat Of what’s left of my home Well they’ll try to run me out Take everything I own Well and eye for eye, blood for blood That’s what people say And if you go down to the river, You’ll disappear without a trace You could hear the gunshots ringing From miles and miles away You could hear the cries, feel the pain See the blood on their face As they take the battle with em From the cradle to the grave Well and eye for eye, blood for blood That’s what people say As the rise up from the ashes Or crawl out from the grave So if you go down to the river Let the moonlight shine the way Cause all the angels are gone It’s just the devil that remains As they rise up from the ashes Or crawl out from the grave
