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 thaBbt cold steel in your face
And the Fsame God that you’re so afraid is gonnCa send you to hell
Is the Fsame one you’re gonna answer to when thBbe pin hits the shell
Well, Your Fsister’s been blaming eveCrybody
I don’Ft blame her, man, I guess I’d do Bbthe same
if you was my Fbrother, man, I‘d probably stanCd by you.
But you Fain’t, man, so I got to go mBby way.
Chorus 1:
And I ain’t gonnDma crawl upon no high horse
Cause I Bbgot thrown off of one
When I was Fyoung and I ain’t no cowboy
So I ain’Bbt going 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 gonnFa mourn for you, man, now that you??Bb?re gone
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
