; Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’ ; 

A whiskey bottle comforts me

And tell me not to cry

While a full moon says a prayer for me

I try to close my eyes

But the night's there to remind me

Of the guns and the early graves

The ghosts appear as I fall asleep

To sing an outlaw's serenade.

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'

When you're livin' on the run

Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

Is it too late to ask for forgiveness

For the things that I have done.

Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

The desert's been a friend to me

It covers me by night

And a snakebite's not my enemy

But it taught me how to fight

All this fame don't bring you freedom

Though it wears a thin disguise   

When an outlaw is just a man to me

And a man has to die

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'

When you're livin' on the run

Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

Is it too late to ask for forgiveness

For the things that I have done

Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

And I hope someone will pray for me

When it's my turn to die... PRAY FOR ME!!!

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'

When you're livin' on the run

Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

Is it too late to ask for forgiveness

For the things that I have done

Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

~ Justice in the barrel ~

Hey mister, can you help me

I’m a loner on the run 

I’m just looking for tomorrow

And I ain’t gonna hurt no one

I jumped headfirst into a bottle

I was looking for a friend

Came up just short of nothing

I didn’t find the truth I only found an end.

So tell me who’s gonna save me

Or my father or my son

When the only justice a man can see is the barrell…

Of a loaded gun.

I been broke and I’ve been hungry

I think they are both, my middle name

But I don’t never ever never seem to get enough

Still I guess I can’t complain 

’cause what you get in life you take it.

You have gotta hold on and make it last

They say good things come to those who wait

But it’s life that goes so fast

And when there’s just one rule you live by

Each day you kiss the rising sun

When you live and die by the life we breathe

In the barrell of a loaded gun

Guns talk to me in my sleep at night

And a gun somewhere is burning with my name

Winners are losers

And losers will have to face

All those yesterdays

And all of the dreams they blew away 

So mister can you help me

Or are you my gun

Have the ghosts of justice 

Brought you here to me to taste 

The barrell of a loaded gun

There is justice in the barrell of a loaded gun

; Miracle ;

A penny for your thoughts now baby

Looks like the weight on the world’s

On your shoulders now

I know you think you’re going crazy

Just when it seems everything’s

Gonna work itself out 

They drive you right back down.

And you said it ain’t fair

That a man walks

When a bird can fly

We have to kick the ground

The stars kiss the sky

They say that spirits live

A man has to die

They promised us truth

Now they’re giving us lies

Gonna take a miracle

To save us this time

And your savior has just left town

Gonna need a miracle

’cause it’s all on the line 

And I won’t let you down

The river of your hope is flooding

And I know the dam is busted 

If you need me I’ll come running

I won’t let you down

No, no

You’re looking for salvation 

You thought that it’d be shining

Like an angel’s light

Well the angels left this nation 

And salvation caught the last rain out tonight

He lost one hell of a fight

He said I’m just one man, that’s all I’ll ever be

I never can be everything you wanted from me

I’ve got big plans so big

That any blind man could see

I’m standing in the river

Now I’m drowing in the sea.

Gonna take a miracle

To save us this time

And your savior has just left town

Gonna need a miracle

’cause your heart’s on the line

And your heartbeat is slowing down

Your feet are grounded still

You are reaching for the sky

You can let ’em clip your wings

’cause I belive that you can fly

Well, my eyes have seen the horror

Of the coming of the flood 

I have driven deep thorny crown

Into the soul of someone’s son

Still I’ll look you in the eye

’cause I’ve belived in things I’ve thought

And I’ll die without regret

For the wars I have fought

Gonna take a miracle

Save you this time

And you savior has just left town

Gonna need a miracle

’cause your heart’s doing time

And your consience is calling you out.

It ’aint all for nothing

Life ’aint written in the sand

I know the tide is coming

But it’s time we made a stand  with miracle

Gonna take a miracle

I need a miracle (3x)
