i've walked half of this country to get to this town
to put a bill in my pocket
shake the dirt from a crown
if your worries are trouble then your trouble
it's broke
your bottle is empty
now there's blood on the floor
your bottle is empty and there's blood on the floor
well
the colors ain't mixin'
your tolerance has run dry
so you board up your windows to make it through the night
they might hunt you like foxes
they'll sell you as slaves
you'll be the one throwin' fire when they make it to the grave
you'll be the one throwin' fire when they make it to the grave
