about

Guns kill us all. Rationalizing them as defense is a failing way to live. Backup vocals by Brian Cobra Marshall (The Brian Marshall Band, Mayfly, Runaway Satellite)

lyrics

Well I might’ve made a better choice than to shoot that man
some kind forgiveness that I could’ve done
Well I might’ve made a better choice than to put him in his grave
but I can’t rightly conjure a single one

Now I’m getting old and letting go I feel my soul sinking in the mud
cold metal pressed in my palm like a handshake from Beelzebub
It was sweet revenge for my family in the bloody place they fell
I shot that man I shot him down I sent him straight to helll

He thought a gun for an angel would save his soul
I thought a gun for an angel would send him straight to hell
A gun for an angel some folks’ magic spell
A gun for an angel sends us all to hell
