When the Pin Hits The Shell (Patterson Hood)

[Verse 1]

You can lie to your mama, you can lie to your race

But you can’t lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face

And the same God you were so afraid was gonna send you to Hell

Is the same one you’re gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell

[Verse 2]

Well, your sister’s been blamin’ everybody

And I don’t blame her, man, I guess I’d do the same

If you were my brother, man, I’d prob’ly stand by you

But you ain’t, man, so I got to go my way

[Chorus]

And I ain’t gonna crawl up on no high horse

‘Cause I got thrown off of one

When I was young, and I ain’t no cowboy

So I ain’t going where I don’t belong

It wouldn’t do you no good to let you know

That it damn near killed me too

So I ain’t gonna mourn for you, man

Now that you’re gone

[Verse 3]

Me and you, we liked our pills and our whiskey

But you don’t want your head full of either one when the house gets quiet and dark

Feeling good, it used to come so damn easy
