Sift through the little things Wonder what the angels sing Hear the bells begin to ring And count your blessings short She sat me down in Santa Fe Peeled the pistol from my hand Cleaned me up, a selfish man And placed dirt upon my grave And she said
Dry your eyes you knew this day would come You squandered off the best of it And now the worst can’t be undone It’s no surprise you lay before me now You filled your pockets with everything And now the weight has worn you down and I said
Don’t pray for me, for I I will haunt you in the wake Don’t pray for me, for I Will haunt you in the wake
The world it took the best of me What you love will never see Filled my heart with lust for greed And sent me on my way So tell me where I went wrong They’ll sing about my tale in song There never was a worst of it And so I never made it out And Oh
I fell so fast as they shot me down The shells rang out as they hit the ground There never was a sweeter sound As I smiled about my fate So place your dimes upon my eyes For this is how I wish to end Not at the throes of a sick man's bed But in a blaze of smoke and flame
