Fast Hand

I didn't wanna shoot that man but he heard that I was fast

You know that liquor gave him the courage to put a man to the ground

But nobody saw, I couldn't claim no self defense

So I took off with the morning sun, running from my sins

I ended up in every town where all the bad men go

And they've been running just like me, someone always knows

He'll say, "Ain't you the man who shot that boy?" and want his turn to dance

So here I die in some street that night, no never had a chance

Never meant to be a bad man, I just had a fast hand

Ain't going to be nothing in hell I haven't lived through here

I'm just going to walk out and wish you all goodnight

I never meant to be a bad man, I just had a fast hand

I ended up in Forth Worth 'cause no one knows me here

And time has a funny way of taken away the years

I don't mind the changes or the age that's in my face

Because there is a piece of my soul

In every man I've killed in every God forsaken place

Never meant to be a bad man, I just had a fast hand

Ain't going to be nothing in hell I haven't lived through here

I'm just going to walk out, yeah tonight I'll save your life

I never meant to be a bad man, I just had a fast hand

I didn't want to shoot that man but he heard that I was fast...
