When The Pin Hits The Shell By Drive-by Truckers

You can ^Flie to your Mama, you can ^Clie to your race But you ^Fcan't lie to nobody with that ^Bbcold steel in your face And the ^Fsame God that you're so afraid is gonna ^Csend you to hell Is the ^Fsame one you're gonna answer to when the ^Bbpin hits the shell Well, Your ^Fsister's been blaming every^Cbody I don't ^Fblame her, man, I guess I'd do the ^Bbsame if you was my ^Fbrother, man, I'd probably stand ^Cby you. But you ^Fain't, man, so I got to go my ^Bbway.

Chorus 1:

And I ain't gonna ^Dmcrawl upon no high horse Cause I ^Bbgot thrown off of one When I was ^Fyoung and I ain't no cowboy So I ain't ^Bbgoing where I don't belong It ^Dmwouldn't do you no good to let you know that It ^Bbdamned near killed me too So I ain't gonna ^Fmourn for you, man, now that you're ^Bbgone

Me and you, we liked our pills and our whiskey But you don't want your head full of either one when the house gets quiet and dark Having fun used to be so damned easy Racing trains from 2nd Street to Avalon Chorus 2: Take a trip down memory lane You don't see no friendly faces All the houses have been painted and Nobody knows your name. It's enough to make a man not want To be nobody's Daddy When all he thinks he's got left to hand down is guilt and shame Chorus 1 You can lie to your Mama, you can lie to your race But you can't lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face And the same God that you're so afraid is gonna send you to hell Is the same one you're gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell
