One More Nail

He wore a Walker on his hip 

But they called him The Gentleman 

He abided the law, 

But was quick to draw

With his honor on the line 

He never knew the deck was stacked

'Til they shot him in the back

They stole his life 

With a head held high

But they couldn't touch his pride 

Woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah

One more nail in the coffin

One more notch in the post

That barefoot mile we're walking 

Tryna find our way home

A little more ink in the tattoo

To commemorate our tale

No man escapes that sad truth

That's one more nail, brother, one more nail

Carved upon a cross

The name that he'd lost

She laid him down 

On the edge of town

With embers in her eyes 

And so the legends say

They dug too shallow a grave

For that cursed night

Under a blood moon's light 

The ghost of reckoning rides  

One more nail in the coffin

One more notch in the post

That barefoot mile we're walking 

Tryna find our way home

One last strum of the six string

One final tale to tell

Give me one more tall shot of whiskey 

For one more nail, brother, one more nail

The whole town heard the scream 

And they crowded in the street

His face was posed

Like he'd seen a ghost

And cards covered his eyes

Whether widow or a wraith

The Gambler learned that day

Clubs and spades

An eight, an ace

All debts must be paid

Woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah

One more nail in the coffin

One more notch in the post

That barefoot mile we're walking

Tryna find our way home

From all the saints gone to glory

To the darkest depths of hell

It's always the same old story

One more nail in the coffin

One more notch in the post

That barefoot mile we're walking 

Tryna find our way home

The last drop of ink in the tattoo

To commemorate our tale

No man escapes that sad truth

That's one more nail, brother, one more nail

One more nail, brother, one more nail

One more nail, brother, one more nail
