My heart was but a stranger
It wallowed in the races won
And craved the petty dangers
When it sat alone
And pined and pondered
Oh, the chosen roads it had to wander
Well I used to be an only son
(Yeah) My heart was but a gambler
Heavy as a loaded gun
And it howled above the weather
And it's evil ways let me forget her
And this dirty blood will burn forever
In us together
I used to be an only son
(Yeah) My heart was but a gambler
Heavy as a loaded gun
It howled above the weather
Oh it's evil ways
Let me forget her
And this dirty blood will burn forever
In us together
I used to be an only son My heart was but a stranger It wallowed in the races won And craved the petty dangers When it sat alone And pined and pondered Oh, the chosen roads it had to wander Well I used to be an only son (Yeah) My heart was but a gambler Heavy as a loaded gun And it howled above the weather And it's evil ways let me forget her And this dirty blood will burn forever In us together I used to be an only son (Yeah) My heart was but a gambler Heavy as a loaded gun It howled above the weather Oh it's evil ways Let me forget her And this dirty blood will burn forever In us together Explain Request ×
