Lyrics

I met that son of a
Son of a gun
20 miles from Odessa
On his liquor run
A handsome devil
In holy jeans
Gave me scars no one else can see
And snake bits that cut deep

Yeah I go to church
Sure I pray to God
But after what he did to me
I think I’d rather not

And I don’t drink, but if I did
I’d be in a bar trying to drown in something to forget
That he hung his hat on someone else’s nail
And curiosity didn’t kill the cat
It killed that cowboy
Who broke my heart

So it turns out
I like the smoke
Coming from his cigarette
And the ember glow
A red hot fire
And a pitchfork iron
He branded me a sinner
Full of wicked desires

And yeah I go to church
Sure I pray to God
But after what he did to me
I think I’d rather not

And I don’t drink, but if I did
I’d be in a bar trying to drown in something to forget
That he hung his hat on someone else’s nail
And curiosity didn’t kill the cat
It killed that cowboy
Who broke my

Chances at gettin’ into heaven
The same as taking sip of 7&7

And I don’t drink, but if I did
I’d be in a bar trying to drown in something to forget
That he hung his hat on someone else’s nail
And curiosity didn’t kill the cat
It killed that cowboy
Who broke my heart
