COFFIN BUILDER

[Verse 1] Tailgate dented, mud on the chrome Steel-toe boots on the porch I own Papa taught me how to hold my ground When the wolves get brave in my part of town Barn door creaks and the jackdaw talks I don't back up, I just walk that walk Cold hands, hard cash, dirt on my jeans Sunburned face and a mean machine [Pre-Chorus] If you come wrong, better come right I been forged in a hard-fought life Hear that slide and the six-string bite I'm built for the dark, built for the fight [Chorus] Coffin builder, coffin builder I make the frame, I set the timber Coffin builder, coffin builder You talk real big, then you get shivered (Yeah, you get shivered) Coffin builder, coffin builder Don't test my name, don't test my temper [Verse 2] Chrome on the truck and a scar on my knuckle Loose lips fold when the pressure come subtle Back road sermon, I don't need a suit Just a hard-head grin and a belt-buckle boot Neon from the bar ain't worth my time I chase that truth in a straight red line Dust in my lungs and a fire in the gut If I dig a hole, I don't dig it for luck [Pre-Chorus] If you come wrong, better come right I been forged in a hard-fought life Hear that slide and the six-string bite I'm built for the dark, built for the fight [Chorus] Coffin builder, coffin builder I make the frame, I set the timber Coffin builder, coffin builder You talk real big, then you get shivered (Yeah, you get shivered) Coffin builder, coffin builder Don't test my name, don't test my temper [Bridge] Sax cry loud like a church bell moan Old-school grit in the marrow and bone I don't fold when the whole room stares I was made from nails, from smoke, from stares [Final Chorus] Coffin builder, coffin builder I make the frame, I set the timber Coffin builder, coffin builder You talk real big, then you get shivered (Yeah, you get shivered) Coffin builder, coffin builder Don't test my name, don't test my temper Coffin builder, coffin builder Fast hands, hard land, no forgiver
