Firewater

She moved here by way of California

She got tired of the city where angels fly

And I fell in deeper, deeper than her daddy's pockets

The ones he used my land to line

The first time I ever laid my eyes upon her

She had two Jack Daniels in her hands

And she could hold her liquor better than a whiskey barrel

Had a hold on me by three drinks in

She left me cold at the altar

Holding on to nothing but the ring I bought her

I got burned by the devil's daughter

She knew how to use that firewater

Her old man kept buying up all Wyoming

And my old ranch was the next one on his list

Somebody told him I's never gonna sign those papers

So he sent her armed with whiskey to get what he couldn't get

She left me cold at the altar

Holding on to nothing but the ring I bought her

I got burned by the devil's daughter

She knew how to use that firewater

Took her time to get what she wanted

Got me drunk out of my mind

The night before she was supposed to take my name

Well, she got it on that dotted line

Yeah, she got it, everything that's mine

Now there's some Bullet in a bottle that's almost empty

And there's two bullets in my old Colt .45

They're riding shotgun, I'm whiskey bent and hell bound

We're gonna send that devil and his daughter home tonight

She left me cold at the altar

Holding on to nothing but the ring I bought her

I got burned by the devil's daughter

She drowned me in that firewater

She left me cold at the altar

Led me like a lamb right to the slaughter

I'm gonna burn that devil's daughter

Pass me one more shot

Of firewater

That firewater
