Kelsey Hudgins - The Ballad of the Unlucky Man Lyrics

Hotter than I remember
Dryer than every year before
Buried what I hope don't grow
And the whole damn worlds at war
Liable to come a knocking
Any day now they're due
Said a man come round was asking some things
That might lead back to you

Cause I'll be damned if I'll go easy
Ain't no man gonna take my pride
Just as soon dig one more hole
Lay him down there by your side
Give 'em one good reason
To not go messin' in my ground
Best mind his own damn business
As he suspects, I don't f*ck around

Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will let me in

Said a man showed up last Tuesday
In a brand new Model T
Said his boy'd went missin'
Was wonderin' if he'd been seen
Picture looked familiar
To many folks here in this town
He was always with that farm girl
See, him and her they were runnin' round

Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will let me in

When he pulled up I was waitin'
In the trees there off the side
Saw him holding something
Wouldn't've mattered if he tried
I laid him down real easy
Bleeding there right by the side
Of the boy that he was after
Those who seek
So shall they find

Now lay me down my wretched soul
One day I'll walk your streets of gold
Forgive me Lord for all my sins
Hope pearly gates will take me in
