Lyrics for So Far from Your Weapon

There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole You're so far from your weapon And the place you were born There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole You're so far from your weapon And you want to go home I tried to give you whiskey but it never do work (I tried to give you whiskey, but it never do work) Suddenly, you're begging me to do so much worse (Suddenly, you're begging me to do so much worse) But I knew it from the get go the bullet was cursed (But I knew it from the get go the bullet was cursed) Ever since I had you every little thing hurts (Ever since I had you every little thing hurts) You wanna get up? Let go? I say no You wanna get up? Let go? You wanna get up? Let go? I say no You wanna get up? Let go? You dream of seeing fire in them hills But you better wipe that smile from your lips Which of us will be the one to go? (Which of us will be the one to go?) He who hits the road's the one who lives (He who hits the road's the one who lives) You wanna get up? Let go? I say no You wanna get up? Let go? You wanna get up? Let go? I say no You wanna get up? Let go? There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole You're so far from your weapon And the place you were born There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole You're so far from your weapon And you want to go home You wanna get up? Let go? I say no You wanna get up? Let go? You wanna get up? Let go? I say no You wanna get up? Let go? You wanna get up? Let go? I say no You wanna get up? Let go? You wanna get up? Let go? I say no You wanna get up? Let go?
