If I Was the Last Man

lyrics

For richer or for poorer
For meager or for grand
A belly full of fire
A bible busted land
Hand on the girl that brung me
She came from way back east
She done it like a master
I done it like a beast

Hey Rose, double on the wall
First to fire is the first to fall
My blood dries black and it dries fast
Hey Rose, saddle and the sin
Angel that you are and the devil that I been
If I was the last man
Could I be your man at last?

I’m just a lonesome loser
Dust up and torn to shreds
I’d cut them down for miles
Just to get you in my bed

St. Peter would see me coming
Wearing a bastard grin
He’d ask me why I’m smiling
I’d tell him where I been

Hey Rose, double on the wall
First to fire is the first to fall
My blood dries black and it dries fast
Hey Rose, saddle and the sin
Angel that you are and the devil that I been
If I was the last man
Could I be your man at last?

My soul don’t need no saving
This creek runs deep and strong
I wake up every morning
And hum a gospel song

My clothes could use a washing
My boots could use a shine
But if you’ll be my woman
I suppose I’ll be just fine

Hey Rose, double on the wall
First to fire is the first to fall
My blood dries black and it dries fast
Hey Rose, saddle and the sin
Angel that you are and the devil that I been
If I was the last man
Could I be your man at last?
