[Official from http://www.hellorhighwaterofficial.com/lyrics ]
its been a long time since i killed a man some men don’t need a reason why some people find it hard to understand fact is some people need to die
revolver cold as the stories told his wife and children cried as i left them all alone we all know we cant live forever so
Pray for me cuz i’ve been searching for heaven while running from hell when death finds me ill go alone
its been a while since i closed my eyes since i could call myself a man just one more morning that the sun would rise a strangers blood upon my hands
my hearts turned to stone i find myself alone with no-one to hear my cries did they all deserve to die? i know i wont live forever
Pray for me cuz i’ve been searching for heaven while running from hell and now i see what lies ahead of me i know ill be forgotten while all of my sins catch up with me ill go alone
i saw the sweat and fear my gun between his eyes he feels the angels near and starts to realize he’s met the man who’s got the devil by his side i pull my trigger and my darkness becomes his light
i don’t know why i killed so many times its the evil deep inside me thats made me realize that i know i wont live forever so
Pray for me cuz i’ve been searching for heaven while running from hell and now i see what lies ahead of me i know ill be forgotten while all of my sins catch up with me ill go alone
