J Roddy Walston And The Business - Brave Man's d**h lyrics

Well, my father put his shame on me Said he wouldn't put his name on me Said he wouldn't be the first in his family Whose son cried when he was born Well, he died the day I got a gun Said that he was proud that I's his son That was right there in his plan I'd grow up and be a man And there was a tear I saw it in his eye He said he couldn't think Of a better way to die And the Lord came down And put a spoon in my mouth It tasted so bitter But I couldn't spit it out It tasted like the money That my poor momma made Well, I went an' stole it 'cause she took it to the grave And there was a note Clenched in her right hand Said, "Boy, if you wanna live "Better die like a brave man." Well, I don't wanna die in the middle of the night I want a brave man's d**h I don't wanna die in the middle of the night I want a brave man's d**h Spittin' gasoline, burnin' my teeth Gettin' salt on the fields of my past And a sword'll come down with a milky white flash; I'll get my brave man's d**h at last I had a woman She had some kids She said she loved them I never did Just the way that they feed And take away what was young My wife's muscle Could do what needed to be done That day that she died Her cup was fully drained She said, "Take hope, my love "That life was worth the pain." Well, I don't wanna die in the middle of the night I want a brave man's d**h I don't wanna die in the middle of the night I want a brave man's d**h Spittin' gasoline, burnin' my teeth Gettin' salt on the fields of my past And a sword'll come down with a milky white flash; I'll get my brave man's d**h at last Had a heart that's willing But a back without a bone And a body'd go to war But my head would come home And I always had a knife In case a real man came along He'd turn his head And his life was gone So, I hold it in my heart Yes, I hold it in my heart No, I hide it my heart 'cause it's tearin' me apart Last thing that he said to me Was blood was on my hands God, I wanna die like a man YEAH! I don't wanna die. (I don't wanna die.) I want a brave man's d**h I don't wanna die. (I don't wanna die.) I want a brave man's d**h Pray the Lord my soul to keep Keep it in his right hand And with his left, to send me d**h The d**h of a brave man I don't wanna die. (I don't wanna die.) I want a brave man's d**h ... ...
