Not every cowboy
Dies in the saddle
with dirt in his eyes and blood on his feet
not every mother
cries at a table
with three empty chairs and no one to feed
What have these heroes of yesterday turned out to be?
wage weary workers
and hourly prisoners
who just find the end to a means
Some have their lives
some have their families
some have it all, but none of that's free
the bills just keeps coming
the kids keep on running down
a well beaten path toward some burnt out scene
But what would they do if they knew just how hard it would be?
to give up on livin'
and let go of tryin'
and accept the end of a dream
But what's there to lose?
old scars, open wounds
that's all that's left of me
So do it again
six shots to the head
the only cold round
that I'll ever need
Not every villain
hides in the shadows
and not every hero lands on his feet
see they'll take your time,
your mind and your money
then sell you insurance that you'll never need
and they'll take
and they'll take
and they'll take
as long as you believe
that you'll make that cover
just like the others
that told you to follow your dreams
but that pipe's longer than it seems
