Settle The Score Till They're Gone (V-1)

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Verse 1

Thunder in the hills and the storm's rolling in

Broken fence posts and boot marks in red clay

No stranger to trouble I've been dodging it for years

But the woods get thick when you smell those fears

Dragging my shadow down a gravel road

Moon grins wide and I got nowhere to go

Pre-Chorus

I ain't a monster

Unless you make me one

Chorus

Around these parts we settle scores till they're gone

Wind whispers low and the pine trees hum along

Red clay water rising past my boots

Rattlesnake rattles singing out the truth

Settle the score till they're gone

Verse 2

Grandaddy's rifle hung above the door

Six generations never wrong before

I drove the cattle through the lightning sky

Felt every bolt like a question why

Old dog pacing at the barn gate

Knows the answer before it's too late

Pre-Chorus

I ain't a monster

Unless you make me one

Chorus

Around these parts we settle scores till they're gone

Wind whispers low and the pine trees hum along

Red clay water rising past my boots

Rattlesnake rattles singing out the truth

Settle the score till they're gone

Bridge

Fiddle weeps along the ridge

Owl calls from a crooked limb

Storm ain't done with me yet

Storm ain't done with him

Chorus

Around these parts we settle scores till they're gone

Wind whispers low and the pine trees hum along

Red clay water rising past my boots

Rattlesnake rattles singing out the truth

Settle the score till they're gone

Outro

Mm

Till they're gone

Mm-hmm
