I saw Jesus in the corner, he was talking to my friend They both looked my way and turned around I guess I should remember all the trouble that I've been It's just promises in pieces on the ground
I was drunk and tired and busted the day he took me in And offered me protection from myself I guess I should have told him I'm no kind of friend Well I guess that he found out the day I left
I took the money from the wallet on the table by the door I took the pistol that he told me he kept locked inside the drawer I took off before the sun came up, I didn't see him anymore
I was killing time in Reno where the snow fell on the ground I was counting out what little I had left I asked the bartender to pour another round I threw a ten down on the table and I saved one for myself
I walked across the street in daylight with that pistol in my jeans I walked up and told the teller "I don't want to cause a scene Just put the money in this suitcase and we can do this nice and clean"
I was almost to the front door when I heard that siren scream They were just around the corner and coming fast I turned back to that teller, he was looking right at me I just watched him fall as I let that pistol blast
I ran back through the alley and I never turned around And I heard all the voices as they tried to track me down I threw the pistol in that river, I jumped a train leaving town
In a hotel out by Carson Lake I was trying to lay low When I heard some locals talking down the hall It seems they'd caught the man who robbed that Wells Fargo Up in Reno you don't mess around with the law
I guess my friend came looking just like he'd done before But they'd already found his pistol that had washed up on the shore Yesterday they hanged a man and I couldn't run anymore
I saw Jesus in the corner he was talking to my friend They both looked my way and turned around I guess I should remember all the trouble that I've been It's just promises in pieces on the ground It's just promises in pieces on the groundTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
