A Bullet's Worth a Thousand Words

Any other fool would have seen this comin’

Any other fool would’ve hired someone

Look at me shaking in my boots

Guess i’m losing my touch

Life gets cruel, but this is too much

 

Cause we live in a scripted cage

We live in a scripted cage

And we’re coming on the final page

 

I know you know what i’m hiding

Ain’t no secret why we ain’t out riding

Those penetrating eyes see through every pretense

Lost your speed but you’ve still got horse sense

 

Cause we live in a scripted cage

And we knew by the final page

I’d be loading up the old 12-gauge

 

Let’s just cry and say goodbye

Let’s just cry and say goodbye

All i could say you’ve already heard

And a bullet’s worth a thousand words

 

Never could escape these premonitions

Never understood these lame traditions

Cowboys following a code

No one reads the fine print

We all try to show mettle, but i know where mine went

 

Cause we live in a scripted cage

And we knew by the final page

I’d be loading up the old 12-gauge

 

Let’s just cry and say goodbye

Let’s just cry and say goodbye

All i could say you’ve already heard

And a bullet’s worth a thousand words

 

Let’s just cry and say goodbye

Let’s just cry and say goodbye

Every blessed memory

Frozen in stills

And each man loves the thing he kills

All i can say you’ve already heard

And a bullet’s worth a thousand words
