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, running from my sins I ended up in every town where all the bad men go They've been running just like me, someone always knows He'll say, "Ain't you the man who shot that boy?" and want his turn to dance So here I die in some street that night, no never had a chance Never meant to be a bad man, I just had a fast hand Ain't going to be nothing in Hell I haven't lived through here I'm just going to 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 taking away the years I don't mind the changes or the age that's in my face Because there is a piece of my soul In every man I've killed in every godforsaken place Never meant to be a bad man, I just had a fast hand Ain't going to be nothing in Hell I haven't lived through here I'm just going to 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 want to shoot that man but he heard that I was fast
