Dukes (Live)

[Verse 1]

I took the first train outta my hometown

Wanted for a crime I didn't do

I ain't got no one to come back to, mama

So I might as well make it you

'Cause I'm easy to love but I'm hard to trust

But I'll do things that most won't do

It's just you and me and the devil makes three

Just be there when I call for you

[Chorus]

Handguns tattooed on my body 'cause I use 'em and they're not for show

And long highway miles that I'm driving got me so far from my home

And pay no mind to the things they say about me, well, I promise we'll get along, just

Hold my hand, hold my gun, hold your tongue and let me write my songs

[Verse 2]

Yeah, some think 'cause I wrotе a couple verses I'm a poеt or an artist or that but

In real life I like shootouts and the dope house and the women and the money to be fast

So next time you think we have something in common I suggest you think again

I wrote "bad man" 'cause I am a bad man, motherfucker

I'm most certainly not your friend

All my friends are dead

[Chorus]

Handguns tattooed on my body 'cause I use 'em and they're not for show

And these long highway miles that I'm driving got me so far from my home

And pay no mind to the things they say about me, what I did and didn't do

Just lay down in the backseat of my Buick and I'll breathe life into you

[Bridge]

That's what you really wanted

That's what you said

But all I really wanted

Was the whole world dead

That's all I really wanted

That's what you said

But all I really wanted

Oh, was the whole world in my head with all the outlaws

And all the gangsters

And all the killers

And all the players

And all the pimps too and all their hoes

And all the users like you

That got a blizzard packed in their nose

[Chorus]

Handguns tattooed on my body 'cause I use 'em and they're not for show

And these long highway miles that I'm driving got me so far from my home

And pay no mind to the things they say about me, what I did and didn't do

I got a dozen rounds in the handgun that I carry and I'll put all twelve in you
