Rescued Again

This used to be my home

it's not anymore.

This is where my pa died

left bleedin' on the floor.

My ma took a walk

with the angels by her side.

Uncle Hank was always a greedy pig

Destroyed my family in cold blood.

He believed the family inheritance his

I shot him before he could lay me to rest.

Should have, would have kissed him,

if not for a whim.

He gave me a devilish grin,

for my broken nose and hurting chin.

The time was not right,

the place was a horrid sight.


The sheriff went to the barn,

I took a quick turn.

Grabbed the knife from my boot

Rememberin' the childhood route.

I found the place

Stabbed the floor in haste.


Exactly where Pa had said it would be

was a box of mahogany.

Took it out into the sunlight

but the sheriff got hold of me real tight.

Bundled me away to Carson City,

the one place I shouldn't be.
