well, a hammer fell down on a.44 primer and that was one less problem in south carolina tonight wrong or right
she just looked to me as she finished her tale the blank expression went another pale shade of gray there was nothing to say
in the shadows of her face i saw the scars that you get when you live where love is hard and she said
don\'t you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat don\'t you shrug it off until you\'ve walked a mile in my bare feet there are people that you pass by every day with harder cards than yours in life to play
well, i put the cuffs on her and sat her in the car walked inside, he was layin\' on the floor stone dead been shot in the head
there were whiskey bottles and dope by the chair a starving baby with nothing to wear but tears so the picture was clear
he had finally pushed her way across the line and the badge i wore was losing all its shine and she said
don\'t you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat don\'t you shrug it off until you\'ve walked a mile in my bare feet there are people that you pass by every day with harder cards than yours in life to play
i just stood there thinkin\' how justice is blind but after thirty five years you learn to read the signs so i made up my mind
i took the cuffs of her and i walked her back in wiped the gun off and wrapped it in his right hand where it should\'ve been
and the morning paper read in black and white it\'s just another senseless case of suicide suicide
oh, but don\'t you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat don\'t you shrug it off until you\'ve walked a mile along my beat there are people that you pass by every day with harder cards than yours in life to play
well, a hammer fell down on a.44 primer and that was one less problem in south carolina tonight
