Dallas Wayne - The Only Way To Die lyrics

rate me

V.1

The way his shoulders bore the world

You could see he'd loved the girl

He looked like he'd walked through hell

On a road the rest of us knew well

I said, "friend, I've worn those shoes

You've won a scar you'll never lose

But good things come with misery,

And the first one's on me"

Ch.

When the night comes crashing down

A wounded man can surely drown

Just go easy on yourself

And don't turn down a glass of help

Loneliness destroys your mind

So take it one night at a time

And let the bottle raise you high

It's the only way to die

V.2

His thirsty lips were downward drawn

And all the regulars looked on

Their ghostly faces fairly shone

As they recognized one of their own

Too strong to weep, too weak to run

Afraid to face the loaded gun

For him, a fall more soft and slow

And a few gray men to watch him go
