de The Heavy Horses

I was on a prison train bound through Tennessee
An officer, one another man and me
But I will slip away from here in the dark of a southern night
Or I would hang in Texas come the light

All that stands between a gallows death and being free
Is the iron ring that holds my shackle key
And I ain't never killed a man but I would dig down deep
And find the strength to choke him should he sleep

I won't face the gallows pole based on lies you'd said
That I forced my way unwelcome in your bed
You flirted with the jury and they fell for all your charms
The same way I fell into those arms

You just dropped the pressure cried in the man that you saw flee
And that he looked an awful lot like me
And I knew my life was over when the judge reached for the helve
So I memorized his face with the other twelve

Ooh, don't lay your pretty eyes on me
Ooh, don't lay your pretty eyes on me
Cause you're flirting with the devil
And that's one thing you don't need

Being brave is easy when there's nothing left to lose
And all you need's a spark to light the fuse
So I'll wrap my hands around his throat and I'll steal away his breath
And I will take new purpose from his death

And you can bet your pretty smile before I'm finally through
That I'll take everyone you ever knew
When all their pleas fall silent, as a debt for all your lies
That I'll come dim out the lights in your eyes
I'll come dim out the lights in your eyes

Ooh, don't lay your pretty eyes on me
Ooh, don't lay your pretty eyes on me
Cause you were flirting with the devil
And that's one thing you don't need
