Pennies on my Eyes

Verse

I live by the gun

Die by the gun.

It’s kill or be killed.

Life on the run.

Pre chorus

Got my face on a poster

A price on my head.

Looking over my shoulder.

Says bring him in dead.

Chorus

Two cents will be the cost

For my peace of mind.

Undertaker will place

Pennies on my eyes.

Verse

Ghosts of dead men

Haunt me at night.

Some had it coming.

Started the fight.

Pre chorus

Have my hand by my holster

I’m quick to trade lead.

Like my dad used to tell me.

You made your own bed.

Chorus

Two cents will be the cost

For my peace of mind.

Undertaker will place

Pennies on my eyes.

Verse

There is no mercy

For men of sin.

The life of a killer

Is a dead end.

Bridge

When my time comes

The place I will lie

With both boots on

In a box of pine.

Pre chorus

Got my face on a poster

A price on my head.

Looking over my shoulder.

Says bring him in dead.

Chorus

Two cents will be the cost

For my peace of mind.

Undertaker will place

Pennies on my eyes.

Got HIS face on a poster

Says bring him in dead.

Looking over HIS shoulder.

A price on HIS head.....switched lines.... ramps to chorus

Chorus

Two cents will be the cost

For HIS peace of mind.

Undertaker will place

Pennies on HIS eyes.
