Compared To A Soul

(专辑： Old News - 2019)

Bobby said, "let's play some cards
I gotta truck out in the yard
That I came across it was a steal
Lay a couple paychecks down
Drink a few and play a couple rounds
Throw the dice and laugh over somebody's meal"

Would anyone ever believe
Slight of hand and a long sleeve
Could turn old friends into new enemies
And in the fog of all the blame
The Devil straightened a bad shots aim
Now Bobby and his 6 shooter went all in for the deal

I gotta give to ya, Satan
You weren't lying when you said
"I'm the best liar
And the fastest one of them all"
Well now this fire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul

Jezebel lived carefree
Fast cars and jewelry
Married right outta school to a young Marine
Then a new man moved to town
Spoke loud and threw his money around
Caught the eye of a soldiers wife in need

A hard fight and a prayer for peace
Turned a long time gone to an early release
And he came home to different kind of war
Greater love hath no man
Like a broken heart with a gun in his hand
And Jezebel don't life carefree no more

I gotta give to ya, Satan
You weren't lying when you said
"I'm the best liar
And the fastest one of them all"
Well now this fire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul

I gotta give to ya, Satan
You weren't lying when you said
"I'm the best liar
And the fastest one of them all"
Well now this fire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul
