lyrics

Easy Come, Easy Go

Spanish as the moonlight stains the sea
And the waves they rise and fall so gently
Sitting back sipping on a lonely friend
Trying real hard just to pretend
That she was not the only one for me

Well I held her off as long as I could bear
But her words would twist and tumble through the air
A thirty-eight special and a bag of blow
And they chased me down to Mexico
And now they wanna put me in the chair

Well I'd sell my soul at a modest price
But I won't be no sacrifice
You whispered words but mine were true
And I'm the man who killed a man for you

And it goes whoa whoa whoa
Easy come now easy go
Well he wound up on the wrong side of my gun
And I say hey hey hey
Yea I'm better off this way
Cus I can't get close to no one on the run

Well you know I ain't been much for killing men
But If you asked me I'd shoot him down again
Ain't nobody gonna make a fool outa me
And expect to get off peacefully
The blood is on her hands in the end

Well I'd sell my soul at a modest price
But I won't be no sacrifice
You whispered words but mine were true
And I'm the man who killed a man for you

And it goes whoa whoa whoa
Easy come now easy go
Well he wound up on the wrong side of my gun
And I say hey hey hey
Yea I'm better off this way
Cus I can't get close to no one on the run

Whoa whoa oh black magic love
It was all, all that I could afford
I didn't mean to make nobody dead
Just shoot a motherfucker in the head
His dying was between him and the Lord

Well I'd sell my soul at a modest price
But I won't be no sacrifice
You whispered words but mine were true
And I'm the man who killed a man for you

And it goes whoa whoa whoa
Easy come now easy go
Well he wound up on the wrong side of my gun
And I say hey hey hey
Yea I'm better off this way
Cus I can't get close to no one on the run
