lirik lagu dust of the chase – tom russell
[verse 1]
i come down from oklahoma with a pistol in my boot
a pair of dice and a deck of cards and a bible in my suit
i come here as a cause of tears, just as a cryin’ shame
seven stud or eternal blood, i’m a-lookin’ for a game
[verse 2]
i double-crossed the state of texas and they gave me a little time
i taught myself to double-cut the cards, hold scriptures in my mind
i learned to love the tumbling dice and to believe the word
tombstones or rollin’ bones beats anything i ever heard
[verse 3]
patience is a virtue that i do not possess
and i can’t deny that heaven lies beneath a cotton dress
how small a part of time we share ’til we hear the sound of wings
i’m lost in the dust of the chase that my life brings
[instrumental]
[verse 4]
i have walked through god’s green pastures, beneath the rich blue skies
i’ve seen the fall of man, kingdom hidden from his eyes
i have heard the roar of thunder and i’ve felt the lightnin’ bolt
and when i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i take along samuel colt
[verse 5]
every night i kiss the cards and i hold ’em to my breast
and when i see the king of hearts i know that i am blessed
and though my eyes are blind sometimes, i know there’s somethin’ there
so when the time’s at hand and i k!ll a man, i say a little prayer
[outro]
so i come down from oklahoma with a pistol in my boot
a pair of dice and a deck of cards and a bible in my suit
how small a part of time we share ’til we hear the sound of wings
i am lost in the dust of the chase that my life brings
how small a part of time we share ’til we hear the sound of wings
i am lost in the dust of the chase that my life brings
