Lyrics
You know you’ll lose your mind after some time spent out on the road And all things I’ve seen, they’re stuck in my dreams the brain they corrode Working for the wizards who rule these blizzards of the sand and snow A post nuclear waste made from mans haste set the world aglow Aglow I’ll take the highest bid of who wants to rid this place of some soul Cause I got to get by and it don’t matter why someone has got to go Yeah I’m a gun for hire and I’m friends with the buyer till his price is set And yeah they come for me but they’ll never see my crosshairs on their chest (chorus) I’m a gun slinging death bringing jack of the trade, A life taking loner just looking for pay With a mean grinning bone chilling smile that made, Many men’s souls shiver quiver and fade I’m a non-stopping man dropping wretch on the lose I’ve seen plenty on their way to the end of a noose With a head cracking bitch slapping style to boot I’ll nail you in a pine box with your finest suit I’ll get the job done with either fist or gun, whatever you request So keep me on retainer for now or for later cause I am the best I will track down your man and use the tools at hand to get what I need You can hide to no avail cause I’ve yet to fail in the completion of deeds (repeat chorus) ride on
