Quickjaw

Won't you come in I said

Have a seat, have a drink, do you care for a cigarette?

It has been a while since we met

Are you doing alright, how's the wife and the kids?

And he tells me they are fine

But somewhere in between the lines

I can hear him reaching out for a helping hand

There's no shame in that, no

We talk for an hour and he starts staring at a picture on the wall

It's a picture of an old friend

We used to jam around the scene

But the black dog took him way too fast

None of us did see it coming, I said

'Cause somewhere in between the lines

I can hear him reaching out for a helping hand

And there's no shame in that, no

But don't you forget

When life has got you by the balls

Just make damn sure that you don't lose it all

Don't let it make you crawl

You better learn to swim around the gators

Quick-draw slamming, doing daredevil rolls

Yeah, they twist and turn so you better hurry up now

We've all seen the signs everywhere

Life can be so mean

But I've got your back and you've got mine

So celebrate with me

Turn on the lights, burn a fire

Play some country songs

Make that call, talk to a friend

You can win this fight

You can win this in the end

You can win this fight

You can win this in the end
