Cancer Of The Heart

Well I come from a long line of choking souls

Hard at the core like a stubborn oak

Like a live box of bullets waiting on a spark

Yeah, we all got cancer of the heart

There's a deathless demon kneeling in a boat

In a crimson river he does float

He drops anchor in the dark

Yeah we all got cancer of the heart

Damn this life, dash these dreams

Hammer my coffin shut with diamond nails

Damn this life, forget about me

Pour a gas and light a match to my scars

Cause I've got cancer of the heart

Well I got brown whiskey and sleeping pills

Both hands tied and one knee on the wheel

So raise up your glass and lower the bar

And curse this cancer of the heart

Damn this life dash these dreams

Hammer my coffin shut with diamond nails

Damn this life, forget about me

Pour gas and light a match to my scars

Cause honey I got cancer of the heart

It's like somehow a witch in some burned out shack

In some cotton field in east Arkansas

Put a poison curse on me

Oh damn this life dash these dreams

Hammer my coffin shut with diamond nails

Damn this life forget about me

Pour gas and light a match to my scars

Cause honey I got cancer of the heart

Baby I got cancer of the heart
