FAst Hand
Cody Jinks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴I didn't want to shoot that man but he heard that I was fast.
You know that liquour will give ya em courage to put a man to the ground.
But nobody saw and could'nt claim no self defense so I took off with the morning sun running from my sins.
Ended up in every town where all the bad men go and they've been runnin just like me. Someone always knows.
They say your the man that shot that boy wasn't his turn to dance. So there I die in some street that night no never had a chance.
I never ment to be a bad man. I just had a fast hand.
Going to be nothing in hell I havne't lived through here.
I never ment to be a bad man.
I just had a fast Hand.
I ended up in Forth Worth cause no one knows me here.
Time has a funny way of taken away the years.
I dont mind the changes or the age that's in my face.
Becuase there is a piece of my soul in every man I've killed in every god foraken place.
I never ment to be a bad man.
I just had a fast hand.
Ain't going to be nothing in hell I havne't lived through here.
I'm just going to walk out yeah tonight I'll save your life.
I never ment to be a bad man.
I just had a fast hand.
I didn't want to shoot that man but he heard that I was fast
