Hand Of Fate (2025 Mix)

[Chorus]

The hand of fate is on me now

It picked me up and it knocked me down

I'm on the run, I'm prison bound

The hand of fate is heavy now

[Verse 1]

I killed a man, I'm highway bound

The wheel of fortune keeps turning 'round

Turning 'round, turning 'round

I should have known it was a one horse town

[Verse 2]

'Cause my sweet girl was once his wife

And he had papers that the judge had signed

The wind blew hard, it was a stormy night

He shot me once, but I shot him twice

[Chorus]

The hand of fate is on me now

It picked me up and it kicked me right down

Kicked me right down

Kicked me right down

[Verse 3]

I had to save her life

Yeah, I gunned him twice

Yeah, and I watched him die, watch out boy

Yeah, I watched him die, woo

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

He was a barroom man, the violent kind

He had no love for that gal of mine

Then one day in a drinking bout

He swore he'd throw me right out of town

[Chorus]

The hand of fate is on me now

I shot that man, I put him underground

I put him underground, underground

Yes I did

[Verse 5]

I'm on the run, I hear the hounds

My luck is up, my chips are down

So goodbye baby, so long now

Oh wish me luck, I'm going to need it child

[Chorus]

The hand of fate is on me now

Yeah, it's too late baby

I say it's too late baby, too late now

The hand of fate is on me now

I said, the hand of fate is heavy now

[Outro]

Heavy now

The hand of fate is heavy now

[Non-Lyrical Vocals]

It's too late, too late now

The hand of fate is heavy now

It pick you up and it knock you down
