Cold Hard Ground

[Verse 1]

The trouble all started when he took his gun from the rack

A visit to the ol' workplace, let 'em all know he's back

Thanks his lucky stars, the ol' boss was still around

‘cause tonight he'll be a sleepin' in the cold hard ground

[Chorus]

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

No one else is around

Not in the old hard ground

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground

[Verse 2]

He took a little drive out to his ex-wife's place

A bullet to the head, no one can hear her moan

He felt a little bad that the dog would be all alone

’cause tonight she'll be a sleepin' in the cold hard ground

[Chorus]

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

No one else is around

Not in the old hard ground

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground

[Verse 3]

A short-cut out to his sister's house

She was watchin' the kids, just outside of town

He killed 'em one by one, oh they didn't make a sound

Tonight they'll all be lyin' in the cold hard ground

[Chorus]

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

No one else is around

Not in the old hard ground

Cold hard ground

Cold hard ground

Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground

Let’s go!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

The cops, they are a comin’ hot on your trail

They say that every tombstone is written in Braille

You don't want to live, you know you're Satan hell-bound!

Tonight you'll be a lyin' in the cold hard ground

[Chorus]

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

No one else is around

Not in the old hard ground

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground

[Verse 5]

Compared to all the others, my troubles are few

As I pile this dirt into a little mound

I say the lives of others are filled with sorrows of plenty

At least they won't be lyin' in the cold hard ground

[Chorus]

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

No one else is around

Not in the old hard ground

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

No one else is around

Not in the old hard ground

Cold hard ground, cold hard ground

Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground
