Band of Annuals — Blood On My Shirt lyrics

Lyrics

Well, I don’t know how I ever got here
Leanin' against this wall
A blindfold stretched from ear to ear
As I hear her yell out the call
«Boys steady your rifles high
And use a steady eye
Put that bullet right through his heart
Let his soul watch him die.»
And if the whiskey don’t kill me
I bet that my heart did
A series of bangs and a lot of smoke
Left me lying in the dirt
Booze on my breath and blood on my shirt
But for some reason it didn’t hurt
I knew right then that they had mmissed
But they shot me in the chest
Had no conclusions, no not one guess
For the marksmen were the best
If the whiskey don’t kill me
I bet that my heart did
Then they left me thinking that I had died
Lying there on my side
Giving your heart — it is suicide
But this time, it kept me alive
So she stole my heart and rode away
That’s how the story goes
She still has it to this day
But I still don’t think she knows
And if the whiskey don’t kill me
I bet that my heart did
