Renegades at Heart

These are the lyrics to a song I recently wrote. It is a pretty extreme way of depicting how sin dwells deep inside of us and how none of us are far from becoming what we hate. Enjoy :)

RENEGADES AT HEART

I know the way you look at them girls
Just one more night of fun till their blood is on your hands
And you split out of the town
And ride until you've hit the next one

You ride through the night and the dawn comes too soon
You saw me sitting there outside the saloon
And you knew that you found trouble
When you saw my horse was white cuz your's was black
Yes, I'm sheriff of these parts
And you're a dead, you're a dead, dead man

Won't you step in through my doors
And I will give you just one chance
'Fore you're dead
And we'll see who drinks the most
And sticks the other one more fast
Watch my flash

I know your kind and you're all sick, sick dogs
Your pride swells like your chest and that's saying a lot
Cuz you're a big man and that alcohol
Treats you like you're only 30 pounds

Blink your eyes, you're slower than molasses. BANG!!!
You're dead, I see those girls, we do our thing
And I'm drunk out of my mind and see
The girls lying dead the next morn'
What a surprising thing:
The renegade I killed I've become

Won't you step in through my doors
And I will give you just one chance
'Fore you're dead
And we'll see who drinks the most
And sticks the other one more fast
Watch my flash
I'll take your horse, black like my heart
And race the setting sun
'Fore I'm dead
I'll carry on till someone next town
Sees the man I am
Oh, I'm dead

We're all plagued by the same disease.
