That who*e she left you bloody On the motel lobby floor Even though she took your money Oh you know she needed more Well what was she thinking? I'll just take what I can get I've got him where I want him Or should I place a bigger bet? All the clean lies That she told herself Getting ready for that night All the strings they kept on pulling 'Till she couldn't feel how tight All the mixing and the meddling As the hit was going down The naked man was singing But he didn't make a sound At last we see the casket Oh the widow hides her face Your head was off your body And your nose all beaten down As the preacher bowed his head Two men hardly make a sound And now they have the city And a change is coming down Lady you shot me oh I knew it couldn't last for long Lady you shot me oh Now the tent is falling down Lady you shot me oh Now the river is running out Lady you shot me oh My brother knocked me down
