Copper Tongue

Intro

Oh oh

Mhm

Chorus

Staring down the barrel

Copper taste on my tongue

Caught a lucky break

Stole it while I was young

I cut him down

Put a body in the clay

Watching how it bleeds

No choice but to walk away

Verse 1

Buckle cinched

Old leather smells like sweat

Far across the river line

Leaving only debts

Pre-Chorus

Sheriff didn't see me

Nobody knows the name

Washing off the water

Chorus

Staring down the barrel

Copper taste on my tongue

Caught a lucky break

Stole it while I was young

I cut him down

Put a body in the clay

Watching how it bleeds

No choice but to walk away

Verse 2

Black powder stinging

Trigger felt so thin

Done for my mother

Cleanse away the sin

Pre-Chorus

Sheriff didn't see me

Nobody knows the name

Washing off the water

Bridge

Gun smoke in the pines

Gun smoke on my clothes

Gun smoke hides the crime

Chorus

Staring down the barrel

Copper taste on my tongue

Caught a lucky break

Stole it while I was young

I cut him down

Put a body in the clay

Watching how it bleeds

No choice but to walk away

Drop

Clay and blood

Clay and blood

Hook

Way down deep

Way down deep

Clay and blood
