Fast Hand

I didn't wanna shoot that man, but he heard that I was fast

You know that liquor gave him the courage

To put a man to the ground

But nobody saw, I couldn't claim no self-defense

So I took off with the morning sun runnin' from my sins

I ended up in every town where all the bad men go

And they've been runnin' just like me, someone always knows

He'll say, "Ain't you the man who shot that boy?

It wasn't his turn to dance"

So will I die in some street that night? No never have a chance

Never meant to be a bad man, I just had a fast hand

Ain't gonna be nothin' in hell, I haven't lived through here

And I'm just gonna walk out and wish you all goodnight

I never meant to be a bad man

I just had a fast hand

I ended up in Fort Worth 'cause no one knows me here

And time has a funny way of takin' away the years

But I don't mind the changes or the age that's in my face

'Cause there's a piece of my soul in every man I've killed

In every godforsaken place

I never meant to be a bad man, I just had a fast hand

Ain't gonna be nothin' in hell, I haven't lived through here

And I'm just gonna walk out, yeah, tonight I'll save your life

I never meant to be a bad man

I just had a fast hand

I didn't wanna shoot that man, but he heard that I was fast
