The Steeldrivers - Peacemaker lyrics

rate me

I'm a cool three pounds of cold blue steel

I shoot even deader than the way I feel

Made to fit right in your hand

Why I'll never understand

Coulda been a hammer or a railroad spike

Coulda been a train rolling through the night

But they gave my voice such a terrible sound

That I wish they'd left me in the ground

(chorus)

I'm a peacemaker

Don't know how I got my name

I'm a peacemaker

If I don't deserve the credit

Why should I deserve the blame?

When the lion lays down with the lamb

Then you won't find me in nobody's hand

Until that time I will remain

'til the sinners lay down with the saints

(repeat chorus)
