Black lung you know your time has come
You been out on the runs now it's time to come clean
The sheriffs finally got his man
But you got your gun in your hand...
Nothing comes easy
You're a dead man walking since you shot him down
Cold blood trickles down your fingers your halfway in the ground
The sheriff was the closest to kin
You chased him for years your brothers in arms
A fitting end for a friend oh his name on a bullet
And his gun in the sand
Well you gotta keep your head up
(Gotta keep your head up)
Oh they're watching you
(They're watching you)
Oh you can't hide a wanted man's blues
(No denying that your hell bound)
Well you gotta keep your head up
(Gotta keep your head up)
Oh they're watching you
(They're watching you)
Oh you can't hide a wanted man's blues
(Pretty soon you'll be lying in the ground)
Black lungs heavens all full hell bound running as fast as you can
You live your life with your finger on the trigger
Got one eye open for the new law man
Their all gunning for you, you can't hide a wanted man's blues
The bounty keeps growing
Oh a bible and a bullet... Well who says you can't be saved
