Blood on the Money

[Verse] Down at the crossroads where the tall pines sway, Money's been exchanged, and it ain't no play. Blood on the money, mud on your shoes, A deal gone wrong, we're the evening news. [Verse 2] Late night whispers in the roadhouse's glow, Secrets buried deep where the river runs slow. The sheriff's in on it, turning a blind eye, A price on your head as the small town lies. [Chorus] Blood on the money, mud on your shoes, Running from the past, got nothing to lose. Echoes in the valley, shadows on the rise, Living by the gun, ain't no goodbyes. [Verse 3] Your mama told you, "Boy, you best steer clear," But you traded in your Bible for a pint of beer. The devil’s in the details, and you signed on through, Now it's blood on the money, mud on your shoes. [Bridge] The midnight hour's coming, can you feel the chill? Each heartbeat louder, struggling up a hill. Every turn's a corner, every choice you choose, Blood on the money, mud on your shoes. [Verse 4] The church bells ringing, but your soul is bound, Hiding in the shadows of this sleepy town. It's a cold-hearted game, and you're bound to lose, Blood on the money, mud on your shoes.
