Ballad Of The Blanton Brothers Testo

Let me tell you 'bout the Blanton brothers
Starting off with the oldest one
Goes by Deuce, but his real names Amos
Nicknamed came with a couple guns

Percy's the scorn of the family
Middle brother mischief tendencies
Depending on Deuce, the oldest brother
To clean up the mess he makes of things
Percy really done a did it this time With a little help of amphetamines
Burned down a house in Frisco city
Thought it was abandoned killing Mr. Lowery's family

Ain't nothing but some hell-bound heathens
Curse coming from a cast-off line
Ain't really got a rhyme or reason
To rundown the name of a daddy's vine

Now, Mr. Lowery was the sheriff in Frisco
Gotta tip who done the deed
He ain't waiting on a judge and jury
Gotta judge sitting in the passenger seat
That brings us to the youngest brother
The only Blanton with his head screwed on
Christian 'bout to die for Percy's sin
Staring down the barrel side of Mr. Lowery's 301

Ain't nothing but some hell-bound heathens
Curse coming from a cast-off line Ain't really got a rhyme or reason
To rundown the name of ya daddy's vine

Deuce found Christian down at hunters run
Bleeding out told him what was done
Ever held your brother while you watched him die
The cost of cold killings an eye for an eye
It's a four tire fire no time for pity
Mr. Lowrey waiting down in Frisco city
Aiming down the drive where the house burned down
Deuce slinging' gravel so he racks a round
Cross hair steady only got one shot
Rimfire bullet to the engine block
Deuce only let loose a round or two
Nicknames the name and the name held true
He dropped like a hammer and died like a dog
Mr. Lowrey's body in the back of his squad car
Back to town to go get the shovels
Go dig a hole with ya no-good brother

Ain't nothing but some hell-bound heathens
Curse coming from a cast-off line
Ain't really got a rhyme or reason
To rundown the name of ya daddy's vine

Paranoid and scared to death
Percy's at the house still high on meth
Squad car pulls in the dead of night
Points a double barrel through the broken blinds
Pulls the trigger thinking Lowry's done
Didn't know it was Deuce when he fired that gun
