lyrics

Look at the child
stone in a hole
face in the coals
hot-blooded rampaging soul

Dirt on his knuckles
found his mothers ring
his fathers too drunk to write anything

He took the daggers lure
'I just wanna be the best'
stole the Saturday bottle of scotch
and put it in his vest

Then he put it in his chest
the devils inside me, he says
I didn't have a choice
he entered through my empty heart;
it needed a voice

The kid caught on a ramble
inducted to a crusade
kill the savage, let him fade
don't get caught in the blaze

Then he wrapped his hand around the .45
When Colt was alive
The sun was setting low
when it should have set high

And he wrapped his hands around the merchants neck
or he'd of been dead
rotting in a tick infested jail house bed

Now he's fifteen years old
stole a horse with what they call
graveyard gold

Joined a legion of demons
who call themselves men
all of them frown and the worst one grins

The Judge looks in his eyes through the smoke filled air
gives him a wink says the way is clear
We had to burn half of Mexico
So you could be king
